Artist: Rob Halligan
Label: Independent
Length: 10 Tracks/47 Minutes
This indy release from UK singer/songwriter Rob Halligan (not to be confused with Ceili Rain’s Bob Halligan) is a pleasant and welcome musical treat. Halligan has one of those cool British singing voices that help provide a nice framework for this batch of solid acoustic/gentle electric pop/folk/rock treats. Seagulls features several high-points that will have you singing and strumming: “Sail Away” highlights Halligan’s vocals a very nifty vocal crescendo ala’ James Blunt (without Blunt’s overindulgent tendencies), the gentle anthem “Who Am I,” the ringing challenge of “Jesus to the World,” and the final cut “Innocence” that features Halligan on vocal accompanied solely by an electric guitar for a unique twist. Dancing with the Seagulls is a collection of tunes that will appeal to aficionados of intelligent acoustic folk pop-rock…fans of John Mayer, Jeff Buckley, VOL, and Bill Bragg will enjoy this.
