Apologies if this album has already been discussed at length, but I feel the
need to recommend the current Hawksley Workman album (Lover Fighter). His
voice is somewhere between Bono and Jeff Buckley, but the music is quite
varied. There are some moments where it's best described as PowerPop, others
where it's a slightly more jovial Leonard Cohen. Tracks of particular note,
I think, are "We will still need a song", "Anger as beauty" and "Autumn's
here".
One review lazily described his voice as being like Maple Syrup - lazy
because he's Canadian - but I can see what they're getting at. Smooth voice
over a very slickly mixed background, with some extremely good tunes.
