Richard Dawson’s latest album is a fascinating listen. It mixes vocals that could fit in well with English folk, psychedelic rock, prog and AOR music, while being musically underpinned by something that could almost pass for freak folk at times, while falling back now and again on progressive rock structures. The album shapes and shifts on each track, and I was constantly surprised by what Dawson would come up with next. I don’t do Top Tens, but if I did, this would easily make such a list.
