However, if one listens to Television's <I>Marquee Moon</I>, it's easy to hear how much Lloyd augmented and complemented Verlaine's distinctive musical voice. On his own, he's opted for a more straightforward musical approach than that of his former band, dabbling in folk and blues-oriented rock. He's still a blistering guitarist, and he can shred in a manner that's both loose and inventive, making many more popular "guitar gods" sound like the showy, superficial players they are. As for his singing voice, there's a plaintive quality to his delivery (just listen to him cover Neil Young's "Heart of Gold") that's simply endearing. - Will LernerPost-Punken720Wed, 16 Dec 2009 22:27:55 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.16632&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Frichard-lloyd%2Fplaylists.rss Richard Lloyd is often considered a shadowy, secondary figure to prominent/legendary guitarists and songwriters like Tom Verlaine and Matthew Sweet.
