Kevin Coyne: Beautiful Extremes 1974-1977
Peter Silverton, Sounds, 25 February 1978
KEVIN COYNE is, make no mistake, a major artist. His 'product' might not 'ship' a million 'units' but in every other way he's the superior of any other singer-songwriter (an awkward, dated expression, I know, but you think of an alternative) you care to name, with the possible exception of Randy Newman.
