Editor's review

His odes to lonely souls seem dour and depressing on the surface, but dig deeper and Simon Joyner reveals his intent to uplift and comfort. He dusts off the downtrodden and picks up the down-on-their-luck with nothing but a sad song sung just for them.

He is an influential local hero with a devoted international following. Although he tours only occasionally and remains mysteriously private, he continues to charge the musical landscape each time he releases a new collection of songs.
