A miserly eight tracks but still clocking in at the 50 minute mark. Hawley shows that it is quality and not quantity that he is interested in delivering.
Open Up Your Door is already being used to sell a posh brand of ice cream on television. Possessing a vocal that is comparable to the late Matt Monro.
Ashes On The Fire verges on Country and Western territory whilst For Your Lover Give Some Time laments the sorry tale of leaving a lover’s birthday gift on the train and giving up the cigarettes and features some quite celestial strings.
Hawley isn’t going to rock your world and he could easily be classed as Easy Listening but what he does present is delivered with style and panache. The perfect Sunday morning record.
