I'm reminded mostly of Fred Neil - the baritone, the only-just-there backing on some tracks, the Roy Orbison connection etc.

New album Lady's Bridge may even have achieved the impossible and out-gorgeoused Coles corner!

Anyone else heard Lady's Bridge yet? Not out here yet, but I have been bingeing on Cole's Corner + Lowedges for the past month or so.
― fritz, Thursday, 6 September 2007 18:38 (eighteen years ago)
I haven't heard good things about it, but haven't heard it myself. It'll be tough to top Cole's Corner, though.
― kornrulez6969, Thursday, 6 September 2007 19:15 (eighteen years ago)
seriously, that one's just about perfect for people who like that kind of thing
― fritz, Thursday, 6 September 2007 19:27 (eighteen years ago)
At least one of the songs on Lady's Bridge sounds exactly like one of the songs he contributed to on A Girl Called Eddy.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 7 January 2008 02:59 (eighteen years ago)
New one out next month. Truelove's Gutter. Lady's Bridge never really hit me like Cole's Corner.
― Brio, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 18:36 (sixteen years ago)
Lady's Bridge never really hit me like Cole's Corner.
Yeah. OTOH, almost nothing this decade hit me like Cole's Corner.
― Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 25 August 2009 18:41 (sixteen years ago)
It really is something else, isn't it? Hard to define exactly what's so special about that record, for me anyway.
― Brio, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 18:45 (sixteen years ago)
Anyone heard Truelove's Gutter?
I'm checking it out on Lala. Only one playthrough, so it's hard to form opinions. My first impression is that it stretches his music out a little, but the songs aren't as sharp as those on Cole's Corner (that's hardly a damning criticism, tho). Anyway, digging it.
― Daniel, Esq., Saturday, 17 October 2009 02:26 (sixteen years ago)
Like the last one it's falling short of Cole's Corner for me - but I gotta give it some time I think. I'd like to hear Richard Hawley and Greg Cartwright make a record.
― Brio, Thursday, 29 October 2009 15:21 (sixteen years ago)
late to the party on this guy evidently but am totally loving Truelove's Gutter - must get rest of output
― larry craig memorial gloryhole (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 5 January 2010 23:27 (sixteen years ago)
can't stop listening to this dude - got Lady's Bridge and Cole's Corner and was kinda surprised at the more sprightly country numbers. the new one's more of a langorous, lugubrious affair but I love that its all stretched out, kinda reminiscent of Dion's "Born to Be With You"

i'm finished with this response brief, strung-out, waiting for my wife and daughter to return from disney tonight. and this new album -- truelove's gutter -- is so moving to me right now.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 24 May 2010 01:08 (sixteen years ago)
Richard Hawley can do no wrong. I will always treasure Cole's Corner.
― musicfanatic, Monday, 24 May 2010 02:29 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, I just finally got around to picking up Truelove's Gutter and it is stunning.

― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 24 May 2010 03:01 (sixteen years ago)
His version of Some Candy Talking is wonderful too
― bham, Monday, 24 May 2010 08:00 (sixteen years ago)
got the False Lights from the Land EP (Remorse Code + 3 new tracks) - very nice, all doomed-sailor-themed stuff

This Lady's Bridge album's pretty nice.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:14 (fifteen years ago)
Yeah; I can listen to Tonight The Streets Are Ours on repeat for hours.
The next disc (Truelove's Gutter) got some nice reviews, but I haven't been able to get into it.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 11:48 (fifteen years ago)
eh, i see upthread that i got into it for at least one day/night; that momentary connection with an album will sometimes happen when i'm ''strung out'' from work.
― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 16 February 2011 11:53 (fifteen years ago)
lol Ned Lady's Bridge is probably his weakest album!
it is still great tho
― I, Mr. Sneer Joy (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 16:26 (fifteen years ago)
Good, then everything will be even better.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 16:28 (fifteen years ago)
I concur. I haven't listened to Truelove's Gutter in a while. Need to check that one out. I remember really liking the first track and 'Remorse Code.'
All the talk upthread about Cole's Corner is otm. An amazing album.

Yeah, of the three albums I have Lady's Bridge is definitely my least favorite. Its a complete toss-up as to whether I love Truelove's Gutter or Cole's Corner more - pretty much depends on my mood. Both are fantastic though.

nah I broke down and got the MP3s. But my issues are more with the arrangements not the sound/mastering
― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 19 October 2012 22:18 (thirteen years ago)
The sound is as lush and well recorded as ever. I can see and understand people taking issue with the arrangements though. But I really like it: it is a throwback, but all his records are, and I find it really refreshing and exhilarating to heat someone play guitar like that.
― comedy is unnatural and abhorrent (Scik Mouthy), Saturday, 20 October 2012 04:57 (thirteen years ago)
