Badly Drawn Boy in general Reviews

Badly Drawn Boy first came to wide public attention when his album 'The Hour of the Bewildebeest' won the Mercury Music Award and the single from that album, 'Once More Around the Block', was used on just about every TV programme at the time. Damon Gough, the man who is BDB, must have almost suffocated under the avalanche of praise ...

Yes he can play I was very impressed with Damon Gough -- Badly drawn boy, at Glastonbury festival. He had a solo performance playing keyboard and acoustic guitar. Beautiful Sunday afternoon at about 4 10pm I was in front of the Pyramid stage where many a big name band has played exciting and vibrant music. I was sitting on the ...

Okay guys we gotta work fast - here's all we know about the Badly Drawn Boy... One, his real name is Damon Gough and he's from Manchester. Two - he's a huge Bruce Springsteen fan but don't hold that against him. He wears a tea cosy as a hat which you can hold against him. It's his 'trademark' like that Jay ...

I only have the CD1 version of this single, and I feel it is a bit lame. Firstly, the single track in itself is one of the greatest singles ever released. The wah wah chords in unison with the doowap chorus and the overall bouncy feel of the lyrics meant that this track should have reached higher than number 27 on the charts. The B-Sides however, ...

I first heard Badly Drawn Boy on the radio, and I really didn't like it much, but recently I have heard more and more, and it really has grown on me. I'm wasn't really into the 'indie' side of music either, as I prefer bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and Green day. Anyway, now Coldplay, the Doves and Badly ...

This opinion may offend some people because it isn't an informative track by track review of the album, but after watching Badly Drawn Boy's performance on "Later" I felt I had to say something. Despite the critical acclaim he has received (praised in some quarters as "the British Beck" and culminating in his ...

Before I start, I would like to assure people i bought this album before it so deservedly won the mercury music prize. Good words to describe this album would be 'Magical' and 'Enchanting'. It has all the flow of the water that Damon Gough so often seems to write about. The mixture of extraordinary lyrics and vocal styles, not to ...

I have recently seen Badly Drawn Boy perform live. Because he does nigh on everthing on his album himself, his live set up is understandably a little shanbolic. He also has far more trouble singing live than the album would suggest. However, his songwriting brilliance, and his quirky charm, shines through any mistakes he or his accomplices may ...

I'm not going to pretend I'm a music critic or anything , I'll just say that I waited ages for this album to come out and I absolutely love it. As far as I'm concerned, Badly Drawn Boy has made the most interesting new music I've heard in ages and this album does not disappoint. Buy it if like me you think BDB ...
