description

Musically speaking, A Northern Soul is an experimental combination of psychedelic rock and bluesy soul . The result of endless sessions on ecstasy , alcohol, frustration with women and the usual Weltschmerz , it is an album with many rough edges, whose significance in the media hype between Oasis and Blur was unjustifiably lost, according to critics. With History and On Your Own it contains the first two songwriters - ballads by Richard Ashcroft .
