David Gilmour

Artist Song
Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, David Gilmour & Mica Paris  I Put a Spell On You  

Comment:

Best known as the iconic Pink Floyd lead guitarist, multi-instrumentalist Dave Gilmour has pursued a fistful of solo projects outside of the legendary prog outfit. [i]On an Island[/i] was recorded in 2006 on a converted houseboat, moored on the Thames near Hampton Court; his self-titled solo debut produced the excellent single "There's No Way Out of Here", overlooked at the time of its release in 1978; and a couple of his segments on Floyd's fragmented 1969 album, [i]Ummagumma[/i], deserve the stand-alone Gilmour status accorded to them here. We've also included a couple of tribute tracks — his live Albert Hall version of Pink Floyd's first single, "Arnold Layne" (for the late Syd Barrett), featuring guest vocalist David Bowie, and an all-star version of the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn'T've)", in memory of John Peel.
