Just to add a bit about this...
The 45s, despite their promo material, have no real ties to Austin, Texas at
all... they're Brits all the way. They USED to be known, through the '90s, as
Ruth, and released a fantastic debut album called "Harrison" in the UK. Some
of you may have heard of this... like six or seven modest UK hits were on it,
though most of them were released as singles well before the album itself was
released.
The 45s album is well worth seeking out, though I think "Harrison" by Ruth is
even better. Remember, it's the same band on both, so if you like one then
you'll like the other. The Aqualung CD is interesting, but not nearly as
good.. its like mellow, Coldplay/Travis-esque brit-pop. Aqualung has been
considerably more successful, though, landing a single well within the UK top
ten.
