261: Dave Mattacks (Fairport Convention, Nick Drake, Brian Eno, XTC, Paul McCartney, etc.)

If you had to choose the catalog of just one Trap Set alumnus to
listen to during quarantine, you could do no better than today's
guest, the incomparable Dave Mattacks! Dave made his recording
debut in 1969 on Fairport Convention's seminal album Liege &
Lief. From this stunning statement onward, Dave's unique brand of
rhythmic adventure has accompanied a who's who of genius
songwriters: Nick Drake, Brian Eno, Paul McCartney, Mary Chapin
Carpenter, Jimmy Page, Elton John, George Harrison, XTC, Loudon
Wainwright III, to name a few. Stroll through an abandoned glade
and bask in Dave's incredible wisdom.
