Fresh Wine for the Horses by Rob Dickinson

Fresh Wine for the Horses, released in 2005, is Rob Dickinson's first album under his own name, five years after Catherine Wheel, the English alt-rock band he fronted through the '90s, called it a day. Some of these songs had been kicking around since his Catherine Wheel days without ever landing on a record; the rest he wrote after the split. "My Name is Love" is the one that reached the countdowns.

The press was divided, but the old Catherine Wheel faithful lapped it up, and Dickinson took it on the road across the US and Canada, playing stripped-down acoustic sets in small rooms that mixed the new songs with the old band's. In 2008 it came back as a two-disc set, paired with Nude, an EP of acoustic Catherine Wheel reworkings, plus a previously unreleased song, "The End of the World".
