Gordon Haskell Hionides - One Day Soon

Review by Ciro Álvaro de Faria

Album Review: One Day Soon by Gordon Haskell Hionides (2010) Gordon Haskell Hionides’ One Day Soon is a heartfelt blend of pop, rock, folk, and world influences that feels like flipping through an old photo album. Released in 2010 across Poland, the UK, and Germany via labels like Magic Records and Fullfill, this record doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it just makes it roll smoother. With styles ranging from soft rock to progressive folk and ballads, it’s an album that invites listeners into its warm, slightly weathered world without demanding too much attention. The standout track for me is “Good Man Down.” It’s one of those songs where everything clicks—the gentle piano lines laid down by Bob Kennedy, Haskell’s worn-in vocals, and lyrics that hit hard without being overbearing. There’s something about how the bassline subtly anchors the whole thing while still letting the melody breathe. You can tell Haskell poured his soul into this one; it feels personal, like he’s telling you a story over coffee. It sticks with you because it doesn’t shout—it whispers. By the time the saxophone sneaks in on track five (courtesy of Marek Podkowa), you’re already hooked. Another gem is “Happy To Be,” which leans more into the soft rock vibe but keeps things grounded with simple yet effective guitar work. The drums by Jan Mlynarski give it just enough drive without overpowering the mood. What stays with me here isn’t so much the technical brilliance as the emotional honesty. It’s the kind of song that makes you pause mid-walk and think, “Yeah, I get that.” The credits reveal a tight-knit team behind the scenes—Bob Kennedy wears multiple hats as producer, engineer, drummer, and pianist, proving he wasn’t just along for the ride. Meanwhile, the artwork and photography by Giles Rayner, Marcus Rayner, and Sue Hazle bring a cohesive visual touch to the project. Mastering by Tim Turan ensures the sound quality holds up even today. What strikes me most about One Day Soon is how unassuming it is. It doesn’t scream for your attention or drown itself in flashy production tricks. Instead, it lets its humanity shine through. Tracks like “Good Man Down” and “Happy To Be” linger not because they’re perfect but because they feel real. And honestly? That’s refreshing. In a world full of albums trying way too hard to be memorable, One Day Soon reminds us that sometimes all it takes is sincerity—and maybe a little saxophone—to leave a mark. P.S. Fun fact: listening to this album feels like finding an old Polaroid in your pocket years later. Except instead of wondering who took it, you wonder why more music can’t be this quietly impactful.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s an interesting fact: Gordon Haskell, the artist behind the 2010 album *One Day Soon*, wasn’t just a singer but also played bass and guitar on most tracks. What makes this even cooler is that he collaborated with different musicians across Europe—like Poland’s Jan Mlynarski on drums for one track, and Germany’s Damian Kurasz on electric guitar for another.
