Richard Hawley: ‚The gloves are off. This is my angry record‘
Sheffield’s gentle troubadour turns tough with an impassioned state-of-the-nation album

„… The determinedly untrendy Hawley is defiantly out of step with today’s fragmented fast-forward pop landscape, in both his craft-based approach to the pop song and his persona, which tends towards the unapologetically retro.

Walnut Ridge to honor area’s rockabilly history
„… Rockabilly legends Billy Lee Riley, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Wanda Jackson will also be honored. …“
