WILL VARLEY – THE HOLE AROUND MY HEAD – ALBUM REVIEW
Folk troubadour Will Varley has once again sat with his acoustic guitar and plotted the creation of a collection of songs. His latest album is entitled āThe Hole Around My Headā and it finds Varley in typically defiant and reflective mood.
There is a real tenderness to this album however that finds Varley unafraid to address the vulnerability of life. Itās a sombre reflection of life, love and the world that we live in, as always crafted with care and designed to captivate.

The likes of āColour TVā and āDreamlandā will be held up to as standout moments, but the reality is that this isnāt the collection of songs we mentioned. āThe Hole Around My Headā is a singular piece of art that is perfectly melded together by Varley and deserves to be consumed in its entirety.
The name Will Varley is criminally underappreciated and the sad reality is that this album isnāt likely to trouble the very top of the charts. Put a name on the cover such as Ed Sheeran, James Blunt et al and āThe Hole Around My Headā is being touted as the best thing since sliced bread.

There is an incredible pool of talent in this world that are plugging away and deserve a spotlight and Will Varley typifies this. āLive Againā, āPushing Against Usā and āThe Lonely & The Braveā close out an album of beautiful and powerful songs that deserves all the praise it will hopefully receive.
āThe Hole Around My Headā is a delicate masterpiece from a songwriter of the highest level.
