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

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.

I haven't heard good things about it, but haven't heard it myself. It'll be tough to top Cole's Corner, though.

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.

New one out next month. Truelove's Gutter. Lady's Bridge never really hit me like Cole's Corner.

Yeah. OTOH, almost nothing this decade hit me like Cole's Corner.

It really is something else, isn't it? Hard to define exactly what's so special about that record, for me anyway.

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 (3 years ago) Permalink
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.

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 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.

Now I have to listen to Truelove's Gutter and No Other (my favorite album) back-to-back. What torture.

Just bumped into Edwyn Collins in Town. How bizarre and how lovely. He's in Sheffield to 'jam' with Richard Hawley (hope that's not supposed to be a secret!). Had a brilliant chat.

latest one's a bit of disappointment. Pfork unfortunately OTM that it seems like a bit of an over-course correction from the previous record that sounds more like a 90s Oasis/Verve throwback than a step forward. it still has its moments, but the gloss of fuzzy guitars works against the material.

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.
