Okay, I see understand what you mean though I sort of think Huw bridges the
gap between the two styles (I was once told his contract with HW was
basically as a session musician - any truth in this?).  I just think he
tends to get over looked a bit and I just get a little defensive about that
as I've enjoyed the guy's music and his (and Marions) lyrics very much.
