Kevin Coyne: Heartburn
John Tobler, NME, 24 April 1976
THIS IS KEVIN COYNE'S seventh album in as many years, and I find it the most satisfying record he's made since the second (and final) Siren album on Dandelion. The title track from that Siren album, Strange, Locomotion, is also the lead track here, and hopefully it's an indication that Kevin may resurrect some more of his shamefully overlooked material from the start of his career.
