Happy Birthday Gary Hall: Gary Hall was born and raised in the north of England. He released his first album, Garage Heart for Run River Records in 1989, to much critical acclaim. This culminated in being voted second best album of the year in the Folk Roots’ end of year poll, sandwiched between Bob Dylan’s Oh Mercy and The Healer by John Lee Hooker. After an extensive European tour to promote the record with his band The Stormkeepers, Wide Open to the World was released in 1991 to more critical acclaim and an ever-growing live fan base. Winning Ways on Losing Streaks is the latest offering from Hall. It was recorded during the winter of 2012/2013 at his Voodoo Rooms Studios and features the same cutting crew he has worked with for the last decade. The album contains 10 original compositions as well as a turbo-charged interpretation of the Old Crow Medicine Show’s ‘Wagon Wheel’. The end result is a fresh and soulful acoustic-based rock ‘n’ roots record that utilises all the essential ingredients of folk, blues and Americana music, but with a sound that is all his own.
