My favourite artist is Swedish, and he sings in Swedish too, so none of you would know who he is anyway. But my favorite artist who sings in english is Richard Hawley. I can warmly recommend you all to listen to him, especially his first record, "Late Night Final" (2001). After that I think you should listen to his latest, (?) "Lady´s Bridge" (2007).
Don´t miss to check him out on youtube, there you got some good stuff like "Coles Corner, "Hotel room" and "the Ocean".
There are moments when I must play him; when the autumn comes with its cold evenings and the rain is drumming against the window. Than I make myself a big cup of tea and huddle up in my sofa. And than, it´s like the rest of the world is something far, far away.
