About this album

Hobo With A Grin is a sharp late-1970s pop-rock solo album from Steve Harley, balancing theatrical flair with direct melodic writing. Issued in 1978 after his Cockney Rebel successes, it shows Harley leaning into a more streamlined sound without losing the wit and personality that defined his best work. The record draws on polished arrangements and strong hooks, with songs such as Roll The Dice and Riding The Waves (For Virginia Woolf) reflecting his taste for character, wordplay and emotional detail. It stands as a distinctive chapter in his catalogue, bridging art-rock ambition and mainstream pop craft.
