Hugh Cornwell "Within you or Without You"

[@Chevalblanc]

Best Hugh Cornwell since his early days with the Stranglers. WOW!

[@beachred]

UTTERLY amazing...pisses on everything the Stranglers have done since Hugh left, and even a bit before. What a trio! Love it!

[@birdycannyfly]

Hail Caz

[@sofaguard]

i cant stop listening to this its fantastic.

[@sidsquat]

Looking forward to seeing Hugh at the rescue rooms. Kicking myself for not listening to him before. He's a diamond geeeezaa

[@atomicFlyer]

I thought Dirty Dozen was great, can't wait for this new release! Great song! I do like you best with the electric line up. Thanks for the early release!

[@MrJockstrap77]

great stuff and love that bass player ..and her bass is a beauty too

[@FromaTwistedMind]

Love this song. My new fave Hugh track

[@tunababaloona]

Caz Campbell, great bass player.

[@atomicFlyer]

This is Hugh! Best song I've heard recently! Who are the other band members? Great trio.

[@bobbodeano]

Go Hugh! I agree with Atomic Flier on the electric line-up, but your accoustic set is excellent too. Hopefully this new material will give you the wider audience you deserve.

[@LarzGustafsson]

There's a Buzzcocks feeling attached to this. Great stuff.

[@stoonybridge]

wtf? it fades out? a song like that cant fade out.

[@essexpaul6423]

Brilliant

[@johnrg68]

absoultely fucking excellent cant wait for the album in may

[@Baronvon]

Dear Hugh, Release this album now. I can't wait till May. Regards, Me

I met Hugh at NXNE a couple weeks back, and he actually told me about this album. Missed his movie though. Amazing guy, and I think this is still amazing stuff. Bands change sounds and line ups. The stranglers are a different stranglers, Hugh's a different Hugh. But the thing with the ol' 77 punks is that they're coming back without destroying themselves musically. Check out some of the Damned's new stuff. Still fantastic, but evolved.

[@kyivconnection]

Caroline Campbell ( had a quick kiss from her in October 2007 ! ) and the talented Chris Bell on drums.

[@dab914]

chris bell.what a drummer

[@atomicFlyer]

For the record Hoover Dam is a great new album. It gets better with each listen, just like most of Hugh's/Stranglers stuff. I'm gonna order the cd, because the free download is not the highest quality (but a good intro). Hugh works the telecaster throughout the album. Some real nice guitar licks.

[@ChrisGoulstone]

go bo diddley! great!

[@dab914]

chriss what a player

[@sofaguard]

fucking brilliant!!

[@TheBleech]

Essentially a jamming session. Doesnt get much better than this kids! Dam good drummer btw.

[@Baronvon]

I'd agree with that too. Looks like this album could be Hugh's best solo work yet...though it'd have to go some to beat Guilty.

[@theobjectivethinker64]

I think hoover dam works because it's raw and not overly mixed similar like the early Stranglers stuff. The songs on hooverdam are not top drawer but the sound is good and that always helps.

[@LarzGustafsson]

@LabiaLicker1 The bass player is cool.

*Within You Or Without You* *Hugh Cornwell* *June 2008* invested time making sure she's fine with no fishing line just a washing line I have to say it was worth the play to be making hay on a praying day so I made my bed and I slept instead I got overfed and where all that led I soon found out there was doubt about underneath the pout and the quivering snout either within you or without you either within you or without you I am without you I am without you I soldiered through all the me and yous and the bedroom blues and the kitchen stews I have to say that no days were grey my feet were clay but I slept ok what got me down was the growing frown the collective noun and the female hounds I didn't mind cos she was kind though she was blind to the highway signs either within you or without you either within you or without you I am without you I am without you I am without you I am without you so I drink my milk even though it's spilt and the flowers wilt over love that's killt and I read `my book now I'm off the hook I still like to look across the babbling brook and I'm living fast for what come's to pass it's like passing gas cos nothing ever lasts you'll hear me say it's just another day I've enjoyed my stay but I'll be on my way either within you or without you either within you or without you I am without you I am without you I am without you I am without you

[@MdmeStephanieBaker]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGrIYZ2kp65resU taken the intro beat from one of my fave ever Meek Beats!

[@CletisVanDam1]

Well written song, but the lack of Dave's keys adding depth and JJ's backing vocals... I can almost hear it as a Stranglers track. Still good though.

[@ChrisM541]

Fantastic! I prefer this original version - U2's cover changed waaay too much for my liking.

[@paddlepop77]

most of your comments are banal and boring especially the one that said it was six minutes too long ,brilliant come back why write any thing at all. my dad's old saying is if you got nothing good to say than don't say it at all.

[@ksmit]

I have always loved Hugh, but this song......yawn. I wish he would go back to the old style like tunes from Wired........The Stranglers FOREVER!!!!!!!!

[@frananderson]

Average IMO but miles better than BEF
