Rating: Verdict: Needs an edit Keen to avoid the sophomore slump that afflicts so many artists on that tricky second album, Rag’n’Bone Man flew to Nashville in a bid to step away from the blues and soul of 2017’s Human, a polished debut that topped the charts and turned him into a major star. A change of scenery has certainly had an impact on the imposing singer from Uckfield in East Sussex, who uses Life By Misadventure to try his hand at acoustic folk, Coldplay-like balladry and guitar-driven numbers with a country-rock feel. Such an eclectic approach can sometimes work a treat, but the effect here is merely scattergun.
