As his tenure at the top of the lift-pop pile draws to a close, what with another Greatest Hits package and a farewell tour, Mick Hucknall confounds the cynical world with a song of raw truth, power and spine-tingling vocal prowess. His titanic anthem Go Now calls on the outcasts, the silent, oppressed masses and shines a laser-pen of hope into the grey lives of millions.
Of course he doesn't. Are you mad? He hasn't spent twenty-five years building mansions from pound coins and shagging his way around the pages of Heat by being even remotely edgy. No - a cover is what we are blessed with, here - a soupy, brassy treatment of the Moody Blues' 1964 number one. The first few seconds pique interest with their dark acoustic guitar, but then it's straight back to 1985 and turgid wedding receptions throughout the globe. Money is still too tight to mention for the simply undead, but the shambling hordes in their Mick-wigs wouldn't have it any other way.
