Hi everyone.
Haven't written on this forum in ages. Due to being extremely skint throughout September and October, I was only able to buy Truelove's Gutter at the weekend.
I am absolutely mesmerised. I'd read tons of reviews and interviews, heard snippets online (The Guardian ran samples of some songs on release day), but truth is- this is not the way to appreciate Richard's music. Least of all this album.
It's absolutely amazing. Yes, it's no Coles Corner or Lady's Bridge but nt because it's any worse. It's just different and extremely touching.
For what it's worth, here's the review I penned on my website
Hagley Road to Ladywood, where I also ran an
interview with Richard Hawley two years ago.
