After signing a contract with Warner Bros, Laurie released a blues album Let Them Talk , which was released initially in France on April 18, 2011 and later in the UK on May 9th.
He has written one novel, "The Gun Seller," and another one, "The Paper Soldier," is tentatively scheduled for September 2009. Mr. Laurie has some musical talent, notably the piano and mouth trumpet (he can make convincing trumpet sounds using just his mouth). He played '20s numbers on the piano in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" (again with Stephen Fry) in addition to some original comic songs in "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie." He is currently a member of "Band from TV" with several other TV personalities. He is married with children, although he has become somewhat of an absentee father due to his work on American television while his family stays in London.

Hugh Laurie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why must you always remind me, that my baby's gone
Evening, you got me deeper in your power
Every minute seems like an hour
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall
That's the time I miss your kisses most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep 'til the glow of dawn is breaking
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my baby's gone
The lyrics to Hugh Laurie's "Evenin'" express the sorrow and pain that comes with heartbreak. The singer is lamenting over the absence of their beloved, and how the evening time seems to remind them of their loneliness. The song opens with the singer addressing the evening, asking why it must always come and remind them that their baby is gone. They are in the thralls of grief and find themselves sinking deeper into its clutches with every passing moment. The unending minutes feel like hours in their current state of despair.
The shadows that fall upon the wall serve as a haunting reminder of their lost love. The lyrics express a longing for their partner's embrace and the kisses that they miss most of all during the evening time. The singer tries to press on, but they find it difficult to continue without their love. The refrain repeats the sentiment of the opening lines, with the singer pleading to the evening to let them sleep until morning so they don't have to face the pain of another day without their significant other.

The most impressive thing about his music is how he does not care about making money at all, he just loves doing it. That amount of non-commercial art is something really rare today.

@N8DulcimerOld
Then why does he sell it instead of making it free? If he loves doing it he's making the music anyway and he's already rich why not give it away?
@irvinemeadows6235
Come on,music is same hard work like anything else, and it has to be paid. And of course he has to pay to all the session musicians,people who film it, to rent a studio etc. Anyway, if you want to download it for free,you will.

@lawannacooper3709
How in the world, even as a musician and jazz and blues fan myself, did I miss this man for so long?!?!?!?!
@s.u.n.s.h.i.n.3
He only had one concert here and I went to see it due to Dr. House. I loved the tv-show and I was curious of how he's singing. He's a showman! Talented, with a great voice, funny, relaxed. I wish I could listen to him live again...
