Richard Hawley - Tonight The Streets Are Ours
Back in 1997, before a stint touring with Pulp rescued him from oblivion, Richard Hawley was “going mental with drink and drugs.” Ten years on he’s one of the UK’s most critically acclaimed singer-songwriters, specialising in a peculiarly English, lugubrious brand of Americana.
Fifth album Lady’s Bridge, out 20 August, is probably his most downbeat release yet. Stately and mature, it finds the 50s-obsessed troubadour’s playing down his rockabilly tendencies in favour of billowing, string-swept Northern balladry. Listen to an exclusive preview of standout track Tonight The Streets Are Ours here.
