Ferraby Lionheart Visits The Abbey (sounds like a chapter from "King Arthur")
Ferraby Lionheart is yet another sensitive singer-songwriter from LA (now living in Nashville). Despite getting oodles of good press from music blogs, his music has never struck me as that original or compelling. Richard Hawley on the other hand is a complete and wonderful contradiction: he's a young English bloke who sounds like Roy Orbison would have if he recorded at Sun Studios. Think a kind of polished, loungy version of Nick Cave.
See for yourself how these two compliment each other (or not) Thursday night at The Abbey.
