Release Notes:

'Keys To The World' is Richard Ashcroft's third solo album,
following July 2000's 'Alone With Everybody' and November
2002's 'Human Conditions'. He wrote its ten songs (which
last 44 minutes) over a number of years, but recorded most
of them over a few days in Richmond, West London.

On 'Keys To The World', Ashcroft addresses the subjects he's
been pondering and wrestling: depression and happiness,
religion and death, the world and its people, love and how to
maintain it. It's an album that's in turn thoughtful, downbeat,
gentle, angry and optimistic. "In the mid-60s, songwriters were
influenced by Dylan and had a more sardonic, twisted take on
things. But they still wrote tunes that stuck in people's heads.
That's what I'm aiming to do. Melody is still the number one
thing for me."

Enjoy!
