Yorkshire's finest crooner, the Steel City cowboy and his cosiest sweetest album 'Coles Corner' is 20 years old and with the half speed mastering treatment will be sounding lusher than ever. 

Parlophone / Rhino announce details of special 20th Anniversary Editions of Richard Hawley’s revered 2005 album Coles Corner. Coles Corner was Hawley’s third studio album and his first for Mute Records. After five years of garnering praise for his songwriting talents and heart-melting 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 Sheffield’s Yellow Arch Studios, and co-produced with his long-time 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 Hawley’s 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 Hawley’s abiding love and passion for his hometown of Sheffield. Coles Corner is a cornerstone in the catalogue of one of the most creative and outstanding UK singer-songwriters of the past two decades.
