James Reyne gigs draw a funny crowd. Most turn up anticipating some classic
Aussie rock with songs like "Errol" and "Reckless" from his days with
Australian Crawl or perhaps "Fall Of Rome" and "Hammerhead" from his cracking
solo debut. But to anyone who's tried a few of his other solo albums, it's
obvious that James has broader ambitions as a songwriter and musician (I swear
his cover of John Hiatt's "Stood Up" from "Electric Digger Dandy" is better
than the original). This gig featured James on guitar/vocals accompanied by
Mark O'Connor on piano and while some of his newer material works beautifully
with that instrumentation, the crowd seemed more interested in full-on
singalongs to the old classics. Sure, that was a lot of fun, but maybe one day
they'll let him show off what he can really do.

Does anybody have the chords for "Stood Up" - The John Hiatt song which was covered so brilliantly by James Reyne on Electric Digger Dandy? Please email me if you do.

I would also like the guitar chords and lyrics for Hammerhead if someone out there has them.

If anyone has the chords and words to any of James songs I would love to have a copy of them. Saw him recently and was blone away. (especially 'always the way')
