You're listening to Nakedly Examine Music, a podcast about songs and songwriters.

My name is Mark Linsonmeyer.

My guest for episode 250 is Bill Pritchard,

a British singer-songwriter who started out doing synth-heavy tunes with his first album in

1987. Within a couple of albums, he'd shifted to the jangly guitar pop. You're now hearing from

his biggest single, Tommy Enko, from his fourth album, three months, three weeks,

and two days from 1989. He retired after just one more album in 1991, but after a couple of

fall starts, he came back with a vengeance, releasing albums 8 through 13 between 2014 and

the present. Today we'll be talking about perpetual tourist from his new album Haunted,

then Trentham from A Trip to the Coast, 2014, and Pigail on a Tuesday is Charming from

Parzacay, 1988. We'll conclude by listening to the title track from the new record Haunted.

I will play it a little bit of Tommy and Co from three months, three weeks, and two days,

1989, your fourth album, I guess?

Well, it was sort of really my third album, but it was the first album I did on a label called Plet Against Sam,

which is a Belgian label, but it was a very big indie, European label at the time. And I think the thing with Tommy

and Co, I had the opportunity of inviting Francoise Ardi, who was a 60s French icon from the

yeah-year period that I absolutely loved. And she sings backing vocals on this particular track.
