The Sash My Father Wore and Other Stories – Ballboy (2003)

This was different from the previous Ballboy collections - rather more acoustic material and in fact it comes across as virtually a Gordon McIntyre solo album. It's still the same wry, reflective look at life though, with some class lyrics and for the first time a couple of songs written by other people - the version of Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' is excellent. On early listens, the LP may seem a little flat and disappointing but it is very much a slow burner
