Richard Ashcroft: Keys to the World
CML call number: CD/POPULAR/Ashcroft
Contents: Why Not Nothing?, Music Is Power, Break the Night with Colour, Words Just Get in the Way, Keys to the World, Sweet Brother Malcolm, Cry til the Morning, Why Do Lovers?, Simple Song, World Keeps Turning.

Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "Richard Ashcroft knows well the cathartic force a great song can have. He sings about just that on 'Music Is Power,' the highlight of his third solo album, which rides a '60s Curtis Mayfield sample to soaring effect. For Ashcroft, the keys to success remain a strong sense of melody, a flair for sweeping, orchestral arrangements and a rich, rough-edged voice that possesses some of the bluesy ache and soulful swagger of Mick Jagger."
(Some listeners might be reminded of Diamond or Dylan rather than Jagger, but in any case, it's a convincing voice and an album worth checking out.)
