Golf's verdict: Highly recommended. Full of great interpretations of other people's songs, especially Dolly's 'Coat of Many Colours' and The Beatles' 'For No One'.
Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! What a great album. What a voice!

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! When Jim was an Adonis and still had aspirations as a poet. Ignore some of the more cringe-worthy bits (most famously rhyming 'fire' with, um, 'fire') and it's all cracking stuff. Close your eyes during 'The End' and imagine yourself up the Mekong Delta with Colonel Kurtz...
Maire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! As a 15 year old I loved The Doors (and Jim Morrison in particular). Still stands up and 'The End' is a work of pure genius.
