Richard Hawley

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

With melodic, baritoned anguished that falls somewhere in the neighborhood of Scott Walker, Pulp touring guitarist and former Longpigs member Richard Hawley began his solo career with his self-titled debut in 2001. Hawley was raised in Sheffield, England, as the son of a steelworker and grew up listening to folks such as Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. He learned guitar at an early age from his father and uncle. During the '90s he built up a reputation as an ace guitarist and, besides his stints in Pulp and Longpigs, did session work for U.K. artists suc...[more]

 

 

Known mostly for his work as the guitarist in Pulp and Longpigs as well as recordings with Robbie Williams, Beth Orton, and A Girl Called Eddy, Sheffield, UK-based singer/songwriter Richard Hawley delivers another solo album.Coles Corner -- his first for Mute and the follow-up to Late Night Final (2001) and Lowedges (2003) -- is a beautiful album, filled with nostalgia, emotion and romance.

Richard Hawley 's classically lush album, Lowedges. The album was born out of Richard 's already considerable history in music. Born into a family of music, Richard first achieved some prominence in the ill-starred Longpigs. Eventually disbanding in a welter of bad habits and worse luck, his old friends in Pulp enlisted him for touring and later recording duties. His talent had been spotted by others too.He appeared on sessions for All Saints, Perry Farrell, Finlay Quaye, producer Nellee Hooper 's acclaimed   [ read more ]

2007 album from the critically acclaimed British singer/songwriter, his fifth solo set overall. Before he began his solo career, Hawley was a member of Longpigs and Pulp, amongst others. The album, an elegiac ode to Hawley's native Sheffield, England, follows up 2005's stately Mercury Prize nominee Coles Corner. 11 tracks including the single 'Tonight The Streets Are Ours'.

Before Richard Hawley's self-titled solo debut mini-album, and the later release of his breakthrough album Late Night Final, he was known primarily, if at all, as the guitar player from the Longpigs, or as the touring guitarist for friend and longtime collaborator Jarvis Cocker's Brit-pop hero act Pulp. What nobody but his insider friends could have known, was that in addition to his stellar skills at the guitar, Hawley possessed wonderful crooning vocal chords and considerable songwrit   [ read more ]

Richard Hawley's last album, Cole's Corner, was nominated and shortlisted for the Mercury Prize (the British equivalent of the Pulitzer). He may not have won it (the Arctic Monkeys did), but it did bring his name and ultimately his music to a far greater group of people than had ever been exposed to them before. This is a grand thing, simply because Hawley's articulate, timeless brand of rock-based pop is sophisticated, focused, and ultimately quite beautiful. In this day and age, a man who can    [ read more ]
