With just over a week until the release of Los Manlicious, we're pleased to offer you your first sample: Now streaming from our music player to the left of this page is the rock-hard stomper "is this what you call love?". Have a listen!

Also, just to whet your appetite for new Hawksley tunes a little more, we've just posted Hawksley's track-by-track walkthrough of this fantastic new record.

Coming May 5, 2008: Los Manlicious

Canadian Hawksley Workman fans have been blissfully enjoying a new album, Between the Beautifuls, for the last few months. Now, it's Europe's turn for an exclusive release: On May 5, 2008, Universal Records will release Hawksley's Los Manlicious throughout Europe (excluding the UK). Hawksley has described the album in interviews as "a big hit rock and roll record." Look for the album to be available from HawksleyWorkman.com very soon, but in the meantime, here's the track-list for Los Manlicious:

1. when you gonna flower
2. is this what you call love?
3. girls on crutches
4. kissing girls (you shouldn't kiss)
5. it's a drug
6. in my blood
7. lonely people
8. piano blink
9. the city is a drag
10. in the bedroom in the daytime
11. prettier face
12. oh you delicate heart
13. fatty wants to dance

Missing credits on Between the Beautifuls

It’s just come to light that Stew Crookes was not credited for his magnificent pedal steel work on Between the Beautifuls. Stew’s playing added incredible depth to the texture of the record -- Hawksley thinks Stew is a real genius and would like it known that he feels badly for the accidental omission of his name on the album credits. His contribution was greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: Two more discoveries and apologies: Also missing from the credits page are mention of Sammy Frenette’s guitar work on ‘piano blink’ and Jesse Zubot’s violin on ‘what would you say to me, lord?’. Again, many apologies — Sammy and Jesse are both terrific players.
