"Someone call the police! Richard Hawley's been robbed!" Alex Turner's words on hearing that Arctic Monkeys have pipped Richard Hawley to the Mercury Prize are now infamous. Two albums on, it seems that no-one has been successful in robbing Hawley of anything else, especially his songwriting talent and a voice so rich and steeped in experience that it can reduce grown men to tears.A new Richard Hawley album - Truelove's Gutter is his sixth - is something special and a welcome antidote to everything else in life. As the year begins to wind down, it's hard to contemplate a more timely album than Truelove's Gutter to provide the soundtrack for the long evenings.
