Post Description
Many singer/songwriters have been more heralded, but few produced more good work or did
so for longer than Kevin Coyne. Coyne released dozens of records, most of them very good,
that dealt primarily with outsiders: men, women, and children arbitrarily shunted to the
fringes of society, or worse, locked away and left alone. His songs could be extraordinarily
compassionate and, in the blink of an eye, angry, anguished, and accusatory. Perhaps the
most durable and telling image of Kevin Coyne is the cover photo of his album In Living
Black & White. On the front, Coyne is smiling and politely bowing to an unseen audience;
the back of the album jacket is the same photo taken from the rear, with Coyne clutching
an open straight razor.
