Bryn Haworth, Keep The Faith

I went to play Bryn Haworth‘s new CD Keep The Faith on the hi-fi this morning, only to find that the kids had not only wrecked the loudspeaker covers, they’d done unmentionable things to the woofers, too. So the CD went on the computer (and was ripped to iTunes). Can’t stop playing it: often reminiscent of his early 1980s album Pass It On (must be the horn section). So many of the songs sound like I’ve known them for years – always a good sign. Lovely to hear Bryn’s slide guitar given full rein, too. And a lovely adaptation of Maggi Dawn‘s Wash Me Clean: Bryn has taken this old chorus and added several verses. Beautiful.
