  Reviews

  “Early rock & roll and rockabilly, country, traces of the vintage40s pop, jazz, and even some blues, fall together in a seamless, nearly rapturous whole… Coles Corner is glorious, magical, and utterly lovely in its vision, articulation, and execution.” AllMusic

  “Coles Corner heads fullbore into the vintage sounds of five decades ago… It takes a certain flair for a modernday artist to pull off such a retro sound, and Hawleys complete lack of irony and bombast on this record makes it work… Its achingly beautiful, disarmingly intimate, simply the bestkept secret in popular music today.” PopMatters

  “Oldfashioned, lovelorn, immaculately produced songs… [Hawleys] third album follows the template of its predecessors… if there is a difference its in the richness of the emotions and textures.” The Guardian

  “A glorious melange of love, loss, regret, homesickness and romance.” Mojo

  “Coles Corner is unapologetically retro to the max but it works… Hawley resides deep inside this material, writing songs with the melodic muscle to stand up next to standards… you realize that Hawleys music can go wherever he wants it to go. Hes not stuck in the past… He inhabits his record collection because he likes it there and has a feeling we will too. Hes right.” Pitchfork
