English singer-songwriter Richard Hawley gained notoriety for his smart, elegant brand of contemporary pop-rock over the course of his first three albums (2005's COLE'S CORNER, for example, was nominated for Britain's Mercury Prize). The follow-up was 2007's LADY'S BRIDGE, an album that arguably surpasses the mightily impressive COLE'S CORNER.

The disc is tinged with a retro, rockabilly groove, a feeling accentuated by the cover art, which features Hawley in a sharkskin suit, reclining with a vintage hollow body electric. On both the more rock-&-roll-tinged tunes, and the swirling, atmospheric ballads, Hawley evokes the ghosts of Elvis and Roy Orbison, but LADY'S BRIDGE isn't a rehashed style exercise. It plays instead--with its beautifully applied arrangements, gorgeous tunes, and elegiac lyrics--like the work of a consummate musician.
