Grant Mclennan - In Your Bright Ray

Well its been a while between Go-Between's posts,
I was listening to this, Grants 4th and final solo album
the over day wondering why I keep going back to it.
The obvious answer being its my favourite.
I think it is his masterpiece, but I'd
love to hear some ideas from others.
The album featured Brett Myers of Died Pretty,
Wayne Connolly of Knievel on guitars,
Maurice Argiro of Underground Lovers on bass
and Tim Powles of The Church on drums,
an impressive band.

His Fireboy album was a cracker, so I'm looking forward to listening to this one ...

Thanks for posting this! I had never heard the entire album. Just various tracks from radio sessions. It's pure pop brilliance!

Just reacquainted myself with this LP whilst running around the streets of Northcote.

Such a great record.

I've always considered this Grant's solo 16 Lovers Lane - in that it's the polished, tight, poppy, late-era (well, you know what I mean) album of his bunch, and is completely brilliant.

Bob,

His masterpiece. Can I say that I regard Grant's solo work so highly that I place it above the GoBetweens'.

In 40 years of fandom, no rock death, and I mean none, has affected me like Grant's passing did.

Vale Grant.
