Ted Hawkins - Ladder of Success flac album

His guitar technique might have been basic but it was effective, and his soulful voice could melt the iciest heart, as the live album shows only too well. But most Hawkins-philes will already have both discs. And for those just discovering his music, there are better places to begin.

Much more than a blues singer, Ted Hawkins covered the spectrum of pop, folk, country, & soul in his powerful idiosyncratic style, whether he sang his own compositions or interpreted the songs of others, adding his own unique soul to the mix. Disc one is the studio album, 'Nowhere To Run', from 1989. Disc two was recorded live in London in 1988.
