After five years of garnering praise for his songwriting talents and heartmelting baritone voice, and steadily building a solid fanbase through his outstanding live performances, hard work paid off on an album regarded by many as his best.Recorded in Sheffields Yellow Arch Studios, and coproduced with his longtime bassist Colin Elliot, and Mike Timm, Coles Corner featured fellow musicians Shez Sheridan guitars, Jon Trier keyboards, Jonny Wood upright bass and Andy Cook drums. They conjured up an exquisite album inspired by Hawleys love of vintage 40s and 50s sounds, chamber pop, country, blues, and rock n roll, on a set of intimate love songs full of nostalgia, regret, sadness and a bittersweet atmosphere, on a collection that would cement Hawleys abiding love and passion for his hometown of Sheffield.
