I thought the best tribute to Terry Callier in honour of his death on Sunday, but more importantly his musical legacy, is to repost the brief if key part of my review of one of his albums. Perhaps that very brevity, unusual for me, is also a fitting tribute to how easy he was to praise:
Lookin' Out is the essence of cool with its jazzsmooth and occasional soulfunk grooves caressing around short spoken poetic interludes [Truth in Tears]. It is the sweetest of sweet sounds, and Callier's voice is truly interpretive and soothingly soulful, as on Blues for Billie Holliday and the sensual Beatles cover And I Love Her that exudes the title's declarative with tenderness.
