Craig Davies is an English singer/songwriter from Manchester, who was active from 1988 to 1990 and released two albums on the Rough Trade music label. He was at one point vocalist for the band Easterhouse, but left after signing a solo deal with Rough Trade. He has also collaborated with Vini Reilly, Ben Watt and Badly Drawn Boy.[1]
Background
[edit]Described as having a strangely flexible and beguiling voice, he was also referred to by Culture Catch as a far from conventional troubadour out of time. He came about in a time during the late 1980s when singer songwriters weren't the in thing.[2]
Career
[edit]As part of the list of artists such as Barbara Ruskin, Jane Kitto and The Smiths who has either recorded a song about the station or referenced it in song, Davies recorded the song "Euston Railway Station Blues" which was released in the late 1980s.[3]
Davies released the album, Groovin' on a Shaft Cycle which was released on Rough Trade 132 in 1990. It was reviewed by Hi-Fi News & Record Review in the magazine's Volume 35 issue.[4]
In the late 1990s Davies was in a band called Pan which was said to have great potential but things didn't turn out well.
According to a Culture Catch article published on July 29, 2008, he had only recently returned to the studio.[5]
