It's no surprise that Sir Richard Bishop's first solo outing is also his most refreshing and diverse, encompassing a wide variety of styles. Indeed, Salvador Kali features everything from gypsy romps and Asian guitar noodlings to swinging country and Faheyesque nostalgia. We find Bishop at his most poignant on "Morella," a sparse and melencholic tune that relies on simple strumming and a devastatingly beautiful lead melody. I'll be honest - if you are left unaffected after this, then you are one poor soul.
