Steve Harley - Uncovered

Steve Harley
Uncovered
8/10

Mar 8, 2020

Forever famous for his 1970s Cockney Rebel hits, Harley has forged a solid solo career which has seen him in constant demand on the live circuit.

His previous sporadic solo releases revealed his serious artistic leanings away from the heady business of creating instant commercial hits. Tipping his hat to artists and songs that have inspired him down the years, Harley has recorded an acoustic album of charming and diverse personal favourites.

Painstaking original twists on Bowie's Absolute Beginners, Hot Chocolate's Emma, The Beatles' I've Just Seen A Face and The Rolling Stones' Out Of Time are all superseded by a riveting version of Longpigs' I Lost Myself.
