music.wikisort.org - CompositionHere Comes the Groom is an album by folk-rock singer John Wesley Harding, released in 1990.[7] Harding called the backing band the Good Liars. It included Pete Thomas and Bruce Thomas of the Attractions.[5] Not surprisingly, Here Comes the Groom has a feel similar to classic Elvis Costello. Harding's articulate and biting vocal delivery, also reminiscent of Costello, retains a good dark sense of humor.[8]

Critical reception
The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Possessed of an appealing, folky sensibility, Harding takes a musical approach that falls somewhere between folk and rock and manages to be lyrically offbeat enough of the time to make him one of the more interesting new talents around."[4] Trouser Press called the album "a fine modern realization of the same honest singing and playing that typified England’s pub-rock graduates."[9]
