5.0 out of 5 stars hawksley rocks, September 7, 2004

i bought this album on a whim after following hawksley's personal ads in the back of toronto's 'now' magazine, and at that first holler i was a bit hesitant, but after a few listens it gets under your skin, and never gets out again. i have since been a hardcore hawksley fan, and while all his albums are fantastic, 'for him and the girls' remains my favourite. melodies that you can't get out of your head, along with poetic lyrics, makes this one of my favourite cds. i definately recommend.

I honestly can't say enough about this cd, so I'll keep it simple: Hawksley Workman, in one emotion-laden swoon, can single-handedly wound traditional pop-music and erase its preceived bounderies - period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing New Talent!, February 17, 2001

I come from the same small town as Hawksley did, and I remember quite a long while ago I saw him in concert in a United Church. Right there I began to think, this guy has what it takes to be a very successful musician! He has the talent and ability to make an absolutley magnificant album and on For Him and the Girls, he proves this exactly. After a lot of hard work, he has come out with one of the most original pieces of work around today, and frankly, this is much needed in our music industry. His rich and witty lyrics, beautifully placed guitar rythms and other instrumental talents, and his unique voice make this an amazing experience throughout! It is very hard to compare him to anything out there, but he is very similar in the ways of say, David Bowie, who has reinvented things, created a new style and experimented musically to whole new degrees. And this being his debut, I can only imagine what is to come in the future!!

So if you are reading this, and are deciding on whether to purchase this item, I strongly suggest you go for it! You've already come this far, and you won't, you CAN'T, be disappointed with Hawksley Workman's masterpiece. It does take a little time to acquire the taste for it, but this makes an album timeless. And "thank God it's timeless, because I just lost my watch!"
