Richard Hawley is steeped in a beautiful past. You can see it in the artists he references: Roy Orbison, Scott Walker, Gene Vincent, and Johnny Cash are just some of the past giants he loves. Where he comes from: Mom once sang with the Everly Brothers and Dad played guitar with Eddie Cochran. But most importantly in these acoustic versions of his own songs that Hawley has recorded.

These are acoustic versions of songs Hawley has recorded specially for his website.
