Rob Dickinson spent the '90s fronting the English alternative rock band Catherine Wheel, and when he stepped out on his own in 2005 with Fresh Wine for the Horses, the voice was as rich as ever. Born in 1965 and raised in Norfolk, with Great Yarmouth as his hometown, he sings and plays guitar, and he's a cousin of Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson, though the two make very different kinds of noise.
Fresh Wine for the Horses is a lush, melancholy record, heavy on atmosphere and slow-burning melody, and "My Name is Love" is its standout: a sweeping, heartfelt ballad that builds from a hush to a soaring chorus, all shimmering guitars and bruised romance.
Dickinson later found a second calling. In 2009 he founded Singer Vehicle Design, a company that restores and modifies vehicles for its clients, which makes sense for a man whose music always had a certain polished, high-performance gleam.
