Jim Guthrie at El Mocambo, Toronto
26/03/2010

This is a special video for sure. Jim Guthrie hasn’t been playing much lately (in fact, I think I caught his last solo show way back in 2005), so when it was announced that he would be performing at the El Mocambo a few weeks back I got very excited. Jim has been one of my favourite musicians for a long time after I discovered him through his connections with my other favourite band the Constantines (they both used to share a label, the aptly named Three Gut Records). His last album, 2003’s Now, More Than Ever is a masterpiece – 10 perfect songs. Luckily for those of you who haven’t heard it, it’s being reissued very soon (on vinyl!), so please, do yourself a favour and get it. This song presented here is “So Small” from that same album.

PS: My website is named after Jim’s second album (another great record) Morning Noon Night.
