2nd studio album by Richard Hawley (originally issued by Setanta Records) and the follow-up to his acclaimed debut continues the style of gentle crooner chamber pop and Hawley's classic surf-guitar sound. Critics all agreed that the album was up there among the very best of the year, but the vast crowd of record buyers didn't notice the album. But yes, it's very nice and very fine album, once again.
