Here Comes the Groom is an album by folk-rock singer John Wesley Harding, released in 1990. Harding called the backing band the Good Liars. It included Pete Thomas and Bruce Thomas of the Attractions. Not surprisingly, Here Comes the Groom has a feel similar to classic Elvis Costello. Harding's articulate and biting vocal delivery, also reminiscent of Costello, retains a good dark sense of humor.

Critical reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The Chicago Tribune wrote: "Possessed of an appealing, folky sensibility, Harding takes a musical approach that falls somewhere between folk and rock and manages to be lyrically offbeat enough of the time to make him one of the more interesting new talents around." Trouser Press called the album "a fine modern realization of the same honest singing and playing that typified England’s pub-rock graduates."
