Ramblin’ Man


Hank Williams travelled his Lost Highway and Chuck Berry searched for The Promised Land but only Lemon Jelly captured an Englishman’s passage through the wider world in the sublime Ramblin’ Man. It’s the loose-footed Psycho-geographer’s Anthem with a litany of place-names, famous and obscure, in sober tones redolent of Wilfred Thesiger or Patrick Leigh Fermor. Later this week I shall visit two locations from Lemon Jelly’s list. Last month we added another verse to our own list:

Chorleywood
Sheffield
Kingston upon Hull
Chalfont St Giles
Youlgreave

The task is to match each photo to a location – the only prize is a sense of self-satisfaction.
