I'm A Writer, Not A Fighter: Gilbert O'Sullivan, a criminally underrated songwriter!

from Toby Jones Talks Music · host Toby Jones

I'm A Writer, Not a Fighter, released in 1973, was the 3rd album by Irish songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan. Following the success of 1972's Back To Front, with its UK Number 1 single 'Clair', this also featured a Number 1 with 'Get Down', along with 9 other tracks. This, in my opinion, is Gilbert O'Sullivan's best album - from a criminally underrated songwriter!In this episode, I discuss my love for this album and O'Sullivan's other work.
