Kevin Coyne - 1944 - 2004

Biography:-

British born Kevin Coyne was called, by DJ Andy Kershaw,as variously "a National treasure who keeps getting better" and as one of the great British Blues voices. However, it was another British DJ who first started his recording career when John Peel released recordings by Kevin's first band Siren in 1969 on his Dandelion label.
A comparative late starter to the recording scene Kevin spent his early years working as a social worker and a psychiatric nurse. His 40 LPs always had a balance of tender love songs and songs of heart breaking dispair and hope based on his life long concern with life's casualties and songs of great humour. The music often reflected these two extremes by one song with a glorious melody followed by one with tortured vocals and primeval screaming reflecting the anguish inherrent in the lyrics.
Kevin's refusal to compromise was shown early in his career when he refused to meet Jack Holzman (Siren were on Electra in America) to discuss replacing Jim Morrison in The Doors-"I didn't like the leather trousers!". The compromises never stopped even when he was one of the first artists signed to Virgin Records and it was this that endeared him to label mates John Lydon - who played Eatsbourne Ladies on a Desert Island Disc type show - and The Mekons who recorded his Having A Party - a scathing attack on Richard Branson.Another Virgin release Babble courted controversy when Kevin said that the theatre presentation about the two lovers the piece was about could be The Moors Murderers in the way the relationship was so destructive. This still didn't stop Will Oldham from claiming the LP release "Changed my Life" and recording 2 songs from it.
Following a nervous breakdown and increasing difficulties with drink Coyne left the UK in 1985. Settled in Nuremberg and having given up alcohol, he never stopped recording and touring, as well as writing books and exhibiting his paintings.
His German recordings often featured his own Paradise band but increasingly in later years he collaborated with Brendan Croker, Jon Langford of The Mekons, Gary Lucas of The Magic Band and his own son Robert Coyne.
Diagnosed with lung fibrosis in 2002, Coyne died peacefully at his home. He is survived by his wife helmi and his sons Eugene, Robert and Nico.
For many in the UK it was with mixed pleasure we were able to see Kevin on tour in October 2004 weeks before his death. Sat on stage in a wheelchair and with breathing tubes our first thoughts were of a man a mere shadow of the presence we were used to. Then he began to sing with a voice as powerful if not better than ever.A towering talent who deserves wider recognition.
His wife Helmi intends to continue releasing recordings Kevin made in his last years on Kevin's own Turpentine records available from
Kevin Coyne Official Site
. The first is Underground (2006) and is a great place to start your own Kevin Coyne collection.

Most of Coyne's albums from the 70s
will again be made available by EMI and Cherry Red/Esoterica in 2010 beginning with Marjory and an extraordinary 4CD Anthology next January. Most
of the albums from the 'German years' are available too (some of them
through the official website). My opinion on unofficial/sharing/download is: "Support
the reissues by buying them. They are beautiful objects, with
remastered sound, photos, liner notes, unreleased live and studio
outakes, all of this made with the help of Kevin's sons Eugene and
Robert. Tell EMI they were right to spend money on this. Download
should be left only for out of print albums and live bootleg
unavailable music."
Just my two cents.

Hello Friends and family of Kevin and all participating in the uppercoming tribute tour.
Sadly I won't be able to attend. I'm sure sometime in the future you'll be coming to the Stuttgart area where Kevin played many gigs. Gigs that I had the great pleasure and honor to witness and experience. Have lots of great gigs on the tour.
       Often thinking of the great Kevin Coyne .Still sadly missed.
                Cheers Eddy
