"Slopey”, was Hugh's first digital release - available here and elsewhere on CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon; it is an album of melodic and catchy songs showcasing a heart-worn, folk-soul voice, each track carefully hewn from granite-like dedication with trusty collaborator Jason Ellis. Think edgy yet tonally rich vocal delivery akin to Ray Lamontagne or even Nick Drake, with Lou Reed provider of lyrical slant. Operating in the alternative/folk/folk-rock genre Hugh has left plenty of room for a boot-stamp of originality, where styles have a pendulum effect from track to track whilst still retaining soulful identity. Examples of this are heard on the mali-esque playfulness of “See Africa”, the sheer classic byrdsy tone of “Cupidz tune” and the intense brooding on “Crime” Slopey was recorded in Tunnel Studios North Dublin. credits released 02 February 2010 Rob Corbett: Drums, Bongos Colette O'Leary: Accordion Sinead Buckley: Backing Vocals Jason Ellis: Bass, Backing Vocals, Drums (track 3), Electric Guitar, Whistle Hugh Doolan: Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals see also http://hughdoolan.bandcamp.com/album/slopey User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
