Richard Ashcroft pleases die hard fans with the blissful Acoustic Hymns Vol 1

The former Verve man breathes new life into his back catalogue – and brings Liam Gallagher along for the ride

7.5 / 10

After the second breakup of The Verve in 1999 and with the exception of 2008’s reunion album Forth, Richard Ashcroft has spent the past 20 plus years making solo records, the latest of which is this. Officially his sixth solo album, this features reimaginings of Verve classics alongside a handful of solo favorites with (as the title suggests) acoustic backing and strings.
