'I'm In The Blues'…But I Couldn't Be Happier!

Advantages foot stomppin', dancing' singing' and jigging' album to lift your spirits!
Disadvantages Do The Neighbours Like The Blues?!

Reason for purchase ~ ‘Is There A Doctor In The House’ Because I’m a fan of Hugh Laurie! Not enough? Well, I’ve followed the work of this extraordinary skillful guy for decades. This man seems to be able to turn his hand to anything presented to him, no matter how demanding the role. Laurie has the effect that he can have folk laughing ‘til it hurts, or gripped to the point of open mouthed awe. I have loved his musical ability from the first time I heard him tinkling on the ivories of a piano on ‘A Bit of Fry and Laurie’. When I heard of a Blues album coming out with Laurie’s creative stamp on ... more

Advantages Surprisingly well performed and enjoyable album
Disadvantages Tom Jones' voice doesn't work for the blues

I’ve been a Hugh Laurie fan for quite a long time now. His comedy show with Stephen Fry, as well as appearances in “Blackadder” and “Jeeves and Wooster” were part of my early television watching and his more current role in “House” has made that one of the very few TV shows I refuse to miss. As soon as I heard he would be releasing a blues album, I had to have a copy and my resolve was only strengthened by an excellent documentary behind the scenes of the album. As an accomplished pianist, Laurie makes a fine start to the album with “St James Infirmary”, which has a long, almost classical ... more

Advantages Quality album performed from the heart
Disadvantages Tom Jones

Hugh Laurie... Hugh 'House' Laurie is a talented actor, comedian, musician. He's handsome, bright and comes across, at least, as a very nice guy. Surely there's got to be something wrong with him?! 'Let Them Talk' is Laurie's debut album and there doesn't seem to be any evidence of him being anything less than perfect here either. How do I describe 'Let Them Talk?' Well, predictably not half as well as Laurie sums up his adventure into the world of blues. He says “I was not born in Alabama in the 1890s. You may as well know this now. I’ve never eaten grits, cropped a share, or ridden a boxcar ... more

Let Him Act
Review with images
01/07/2011

Advantages Some good songs, he has a good voice
Disadvantages Not an outstanding album by any means, his acting is better

The album ‘Let Them Talk’ by Hugh Laurie was one that I had been meaning to buy ever since it was released. Due to his magnificent comedy and drama acting in ‘House’ and ‘Blackadder’, to name but two of many amazing programmes he has starred in, as well as his brilliant sketches with partner Stephen Fry in ‘A Bit of Fry and Laurie’, I have been a great fan of Mr Laurie for many years now. His career has come a long way and he has become something that you would not have expected from his dopey, wide-eyed and innocent look in his sketch show or his spectacular performance as the daft and ... more

Advantages Soulful, good accompaniments, strong music
Disadvantages See review

I must admit that despite loving House, and, of course, the infamous Blackadder, I didn’t realise he was in the music scene. What drew my attention was a news article that he was in my town playing guitar I believe and singing as part of a jazz festival, which surprised me slightly. It did, however, make me very curious as to how good he was at guitar, his style of music and his voice, so I downloaded a copy of Let Them Talk. After several listens, I’ve found that this is actually quite an addictive album, even if it is somewhat of an acquired taste! Let Them Talk was released this year (2011) ... more

Advantages Very classy album.
Disadvantages A different Laurie to the one we're used it, it might take a bit to adapt to.

Hugh Laurie is quite a famous old chap isn't he? He's one of the most well respected and highly paid actors on both sides of the Atlantic. He's also quite handy on the piano, writing and singing. He wisely used these skills and formed a successful comedy double act with Stephen Fry. You'll most likely see him nowadays as antihero, Doctor Gregory House in House as well as nostalgic repeats of Blackadder, A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. Recent musical experiences include playing the piano for one of Meatloaf's tracks of his album, Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Let Them Talk is his first ... more
