Here Comes the Groom is an album released in January 1990 by folk-rock singer John Wesley Harding. Harding called the backing band the Good Liars, which 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.[2]
