lee southall

his new album for wonderfulsound literally just dropping through our letter box earlier today, since the disbanding of his former charges the Coral, Lee Southall has since moved both physically (relocating to Hebden Bridge) and musically with the recording of ‘iron in the fire’. ‘shade of blue’ serves notice of a more mellowing tone that’s blissfully kissed with an easy listening vintage that sounds as though its awoken from an early 70’s lie in, and while the press release might throw up comparisons to the likes of john martyn, james taylor and bert jansch, there’s a breezy soulful smoulder that sways and swoons to a listening palette populated by Dennis Wilson and more latterly the Lancashire Hustlers nee BDI’s / the Panda Gang…..  https://soundcloud.com/lee-a-southall
