Last night I found myself in a private box at the Albert Hall watching Richard Hawley. What a sound! He brought on special guest Jarvis Cocker who sang one song, then later Tony Christie joined him and sang a song called Danger is a Woman in Love. All I knew about Tony Christie before was Amarillo, but last night he revealed an incredibly powerful old time voice.
Hawley himself has an amazing, smooth voice. His songs are old fashioned, miserable and uplifting.
Oh well, I am not cut out for writing music reviews. Just read the NME one, or better yet buy the album.
