RICHARD HAWLEY
With a melodic baritone anguish that falls somewhere in the neighborhood of Scott Walker, Pulp touring guitarist and former
Longpigs member Richard Hawley is a songwriter, guitarist, and producer whose elegant, timeless solo work has often used his
native Sheffield, England's locations as a muse. He has been nominated several times for the Mercury Prize as well as a
Brit Award. In addition to his solo recordings and his presence in Pulp, Hawley has worked with a variety of other artists,
including collaborations with Lisa Marie Presley, Arctic Monkeys, Manic Street Preachers, Elbow, and Paul Weller,
and he has produced recordings by A Girl Called Eddy and Nancy Sinatra.

Lady's Bridge -- named for another locale in Sheffield -- is as moving, tender, and literate as its predecessor, without the least bit of formula or pretension applied. The location is Sheffield's oldest bridge, a place that divided the working-class part of the city from its upper-crust denizens. Hawley grew up on the poor side of it. According to what he has said in interviews, Lady's Bridge is also a metaphor for the crossing of a bridge in his own life -- and that doesn't necessarily mean his career..... Ultimately, Lady's Bridge is a sad kind of record that doesn't leave one depressed. In the great rock & roll tradition, it leaves the listener feeling alive, full of a dreamy kind of awe at what has just transpired and the plain-fact realization is that this is an absolutely brilliant record by a middle-aged man who is just beginning to hit his stride, though everything he's done is relegated to the realm of an accessible kind of art. Listeners may have heard sounds like this before, but never assembled in this way -- and played, not sampled. Lady's Bridge proves that Cole's Corner was no one-off, and dare it be said, this surpasses the previous album in diversity, depth, and elegance without ever sounding false. Anyone who hears this set should be righteously and rightfully floored...(AllMusic)price rating
