Sometimes great artists or bands move 'underneath the radar' and never get the recognition they deserve.

One of these artists IMO is Karl Wallinger, an english multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, composer and producer, who released some great albums under the monniker of the name 'World Party'.

Especially his album Goodbye Jumbo is so great, it is hard to skip any tracks on that album.

Wallinger mixes influences ranging from Bob Dylan, The Beatles, the Rolling tones and Van Morrison to Prince and Sly Stone and gives his own twist to it.

IMO he is one of te most overlooked artists of the last 20 years.

Some food for thought:
