Former lead singer for The Coral and collaborator with the likes of Alex Turner and Graham Coxon, Bill Ryder-Jones is a cool breeze on a hot day, a loveliness so pure it feels like release. From his second solo album, with the perfect title A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart, He Took You In His Arms is a deflated, accusing ballad about adultery; about that image of your love with someone else that you will never be able to erase. With heavy piano, occasional sighs of slide guitar and Bill’s sad, soft voice, it is a slight but devastating tune.
