Nobody Left To Crown

Nobody Left To Crown

The Legendary Singer/Songwriter returns in 2008 to Verve Forecast the label home of his seminal Mixed Bag originally released in 1967! One of the most distinctive voices in all of popular music, Havens delivers his first new studio recording in over 4 years - with his unique rhythmic approach to the acoustic guitar, Richie takes material by Pete Townshend (the anthemic and timely 'Won't Get Fooled Again'), Peter, Paul & Mary and Jackson Browne and makes them his own. His uncanny gifts as a song stylist have long overshadowed his considerable talents as a songwriter. Seven of the 13 tunes here are written or co-written by him including the poignant opening track 'The Key'. A captivating live performer who tours constantly, Havens profile will be extremely high in 2009 leading up to the 40th anniversary of Woodstock in August '09.
