I'll be glad to take this review. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-5 days. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:22, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Looking forward to it. EddieHugh (talk) 17:35, 28 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm chipping in with some copy-editing help. Dementia13 (talk) 13:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, that's done. My impression is that it's well-written and well-referenced. I stopped short of verifying the references myself, but the sources named are very good. The material is thoroughly cited and free of OR. I'd say the coverage is broad, but it would be more complete if there were anything on Farmer's legacy: who he's influenced.

 * Thanks, Dementia, for taking a look at this! I'm glad to have another pair of eyes on it. And Eddie, I should be able to start adding my own thoughts tomorrow--but my first impression is also that this looks good and won't need much work. -- Khazar2 (talk) 15:47, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Initial comments
This looks solid to me on first pass and clearly ripe for promotion. It's well-written, well-sourced, neutral, and appears comprehensive. I only have two quibbles so far, below. I also made a few tweaks as I worked through the article; please feel free to revert any with which you disagree.
 * "played as a freelance" -- is the correct phrasing here? I feel like it's usually "played as a freelance musician" or "played freelance".
 * Changed to "played as a freelance musician". That's clearer, even though "freelance" can be a noun.


 * "Farmer's playing on slower tunes achieved a new level of emotional expression" -- this judgement should be attributed in-text to the Guardian writers -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:59, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Done. EddieHugh (talk) 14:51, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
