Hargreaves -
Sooner But Not Later
Hargreaves is a four piece band that plays a blend of
Blues, Soul and Country. As a band, they try to play
simple music well, but not necessarily as people expect
it.
They released the (Bad,) Bad Girl EP last summer, and
now we have this new 12-track album "Sooner But Not
Later" available from Straytown. They are
currently arranging gigs around Yorkshire and Tyne-side,
and Dublin (!!).
They write many of our own songs, mixed with covers of
blues classics and songs by contemporary country artists
and writers who could easily be classified as something
else, such as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Steve Earle and Boo
Hewerdine. Sad songs about heartbreak and alcohol, happy
songs about love and more alcohol. Dusty Springfield is
a big influence on their sound, but so are Emmylou
Harris, Pink, The Pretenders, Queen, The Stranglers, Tom
Waits and many others.
