About Lady's Bridge
Amazon.com Lauded singer-songwriter Richard Hawley (a former touring guitarist for Pulp, no less) made his commercial breakthrough on 2005's remarkable Mercury Prize-nominated Coles Corner--his fourth solo album and one that oozed nostalgic balladry, old-fashioned lyrical sentiment, and cinematic soundtracks in equal measure. Lady's Bridge--the name is yet another ode to his native Sheffield--mines the same seam as Coles Corner, with 11 eloquently charming songs that switch between the romantic strains of opener "Valentine" and "Roll River Roll" and more uppity numbers such as the R&B-infused "Serious" and the countrified twang of tracks like "Tonight the Streets Are Ours" and the Johnny Cash-inspired "Dark Road." Hawley's lyricism retains its coruscating, retro feel, his vibrant baritone again matched to rousing orchestral strings, climbing chord sequences, and background harmonising, creating atmospheres of dreamy fireside warmth and heartfelt melancholy (see "Lady Solitude"). It's as hopelessly alluring as it sounds: when songs are this timeless, you really could listen to them for the rest of your life. --Paul Sullivan Product description Richard Hawley - Lady's Bridge - CD
