Review by TAKEHICO HOSHINO

Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You by Gail Davies: A Forgotten Country Gem That Kicks Ass Alright, let’s cut the crap and get straight to it. Gail Davies’ Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You isn’t just another dusty relic from 1978—it's a raw, unfiltered punch in the gut of folk-country storytelling. Released under Lifesong Records with Tommy West at the helm as producer (and Warren Peterson on engineering duties), this album doesn’t mess around. It’s pure heartland grit wrapped up in twangy steel guitars and Davies’ razor-sharp songwriting. First off, can we talk about “Soft Spoken Man”? Holy hell, this track sticks to your brain like gum under a honky-tonk table. The lyrics are simple but pack a wallop—Gail sings about love so real it feels like she’s whispering secrets into your ear over a bottle of Jack. The melody? Smooth enough to make you forget life’s bullshit for three minutes, but sharp enough to remind you that pain is part of the deal. This ain’t no sugary pop tune; it’s country music with teeth. And damn if her voice doesn’t sound like late-night radio static mixed with honey. Then there’s the title track, “Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You.” Yeah, yeah, I know—it sounds cheesy as all get-out when you read the title. But trust me, this sucker hits different. It’s got this slow-burn sadness running through it, like watching an old Western where everyone loses but somehow wins anyway. Davies wrote this one herself, and you can tell she poured every ounce of soul into those words. By the second chorus, you’re either crying or pretending not to. Either way, it works. The production here isn’t flashy—it doesn’t need to be. This is bare-bones country gold, built for people who’ve lived a little too hard and loved a little too much. There’s no autotune, no fancy tricks—just Gail’s voice, some killer instrumentation, and stories that feel ripped straight out of someone’s diary. Here’s the kicker though: why isn’t this album more famous? Seriously, how does something this good slip through the cracks while other garbage gets shoved down our throats? Maybe it’s because Gail didn’t fit the mold back then—or maybe folks just weren’t ready for her brand of truth-telling. Whatever the reason, it pisses me off. So go dig up a copy of Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You. Listen to it loud, listen to it messy, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself humming these tunes days later. Oh, and one last thing—don’t blame me if it makes you want to call your ex.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Gail Davies' 1978 album *Someone Is Looking For Someone Like You* has a track listed twice in the credits. Yep, the title track appears two times! It’s like the album is giving you a second chance to really soak it in. Produced by Tommy West and engineered by Warren Peterson, this country gem showcases Davies’ songwriting talent. And fun fact—she wrote all the songs herself, including the heartfelt standout “Soft Spoken Man.” Pure 70s folk-country vibes right there.
