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.

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.

late to the party on this guy evidently but am totally loving Truelove's Gutter - must get rest of output

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.

Richard Hawley can do no wrong. I will always treasure Cole's Corner.

Yeah, I just finally got around to picking up Truelove's Gutter and it is stunning.

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.

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.

lol Ned Lady's Bridge is probably his weakest album!
it is still great tho

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.

He's really great autumn music, isn't he? Truelove's Gutter has been my soundtrack for the last few days. Really reminds of No Other by Gene Clark with the sprawling arrangements

Any news about his next release? His impossible to read website says he's in the studio working on it (as of Sept. 5th.)
Now I have to listen to Truelove's Gutter and No Other (my favorite album) back-to-back. What torture.

Apparently it's supposed to be stripped down and 'psychedelic'. I love the guy so respect whatever he wants to do, but am a little wary of what it's gonna be...

Late Night Final - almost as good as Cole's CornerLowedges - warm-up act for Cole's Corner, also great. maybe loses some focus in the second half.Lady's Bridge - follow-up to Cole's Corner, has a few country-ish momentsTrue Love's Gutter - songs get longer, more epic/langorous arrangements

Kinda disappointed (but not really) he didn't go with the naming convention of previous albums and just called it "Sky's Edge."
Looking forward to this. I thought Lady's Bridge was weak but True Love's Gutter is pretty amazing.

This is coming out tomorrow?! I didn't know he had one coming out this year! S-T-O-K-E-D
From the review I'm highly intrigued about the direction he's taking with this album. I'd personally be just as happy with Coles Corner retreads but I'm glad he's expanding the sonic elements.

Listening to this again, first time since Monday; lots of really amazing guitar playing. Definitely his most rocking album, and pretty sprawling and psychedelic and heavy - 9 tracks and just over 50 minutes, iirc. A couple of lovely, quieter moments, too, but some of his lead playing, riffing, and solos are scintillating. Really nice to hear a proper guitarist go for it, none of this plinky plinky post-Edge Coldplay bollocks.
