Simply Red - Picture Book (Live at The Lyceum Theatre London 1998)
Simply Red performs at London's Lyceum Theatre, featuring a vocal performance of intensity and soulfulness from Mick Hucknall.
Backed by a twelve-piece band, which included a smouldering horn section and the enthralling sax of Ian Kirkham, Simply Red unrolled a litany of classics which underlined the extraordinary number of successes the group has enjoyed. The show was filmed in September 1998.

“His music has this sophistication to it, a jazz tinge. There’s also the darkness of his lyrics — Bobby sings with a really twisted pain and sorrow. He’s one of the vocalists who influenced my singing style long before I became a slave to pop success”.
A master class in soul, blues and R&B, Hucknall transforms the thoughtfully selected covers into his own, and succeed in producing an intensely passionate and diverse album.
Produced by long time collaborator Andy Wright, the album is characterised by Hucknall’s striking emotional honesty, musical sincerity and his utterly unique voice. Embracing the spirit of Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland, one of many standout tracks on the album is ‘Stormy Monday Blues’, a thriving journey into the world of jazz and blues.
Other highlights on the album are many and include the first single ‘Poverty’ and ‘Cry Cry Cry’, a raw and soulful track that fits Hucknall perfectly. Alongside ‘I’ll Take Care Of You’, ‘I Pity The Fool’, and the stellar ‘Farther Up The Road’ means the album is consistently rewarding and hugely addictive.
Hucknall’s passion and respect for the project is unquestioned “I’m doing this album for myself, it’s my own personal odyssey. I feel more at home here. This is the beginning for me, I hope my old fans come along, and I hope we can make some new friends with it too” he says.
