Steve Harley: Stranger Comes To Town (Comeuppance Records) album review
Do you remember Steve Harley and his band Cockney Rebel?
He'd turn up on Top Of The Pops back in the Seventies in some outlandish outfit, usually chewing gum as he sang his massive hit Make Me Smile. Well he's back.
The music is simple, raw and thoughtful but the likeability is still there and the songs interesting (For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn is heartbreaking). It won't do what Make Me Smile did for him but it's an album he must be proud of.
VERDICT: 3/5
