Chris Clarke has had an extensive career. Probably best known to us as the Bass Payer in Danny And The Champions Of The World, but this is not Americana. It doesn't really point at rest of his career, bands maybe a little of his time with Pete Astor.
Another Time mixes Indie Rock with 70s Pop Rock as well as stepping into New Wave, Psych Pop and even Glam Rock. There is a really big hint Ian Hunter in both the vocal and instrumentally, so Classic Rock is never out of the question.
Who Decides? starts a little David Essex Hold Me Close, but expands into something closer to The Faces. Let's Blow The Whole Thing Up is great Power Pop, yet On The Outside Looking In has some great Jangle Psych Pop on show.
Yesterday's Tomorrows is classic late 60s Rock with an added unexpected 80s Synth intrusion, whilst All That Remains goes all flared trousers Glam and Good Times instrumentally gets close to The Black Crowes.
The Long Way Round does the Dylan meets The Rolling Stones well and One Last Time is more Classic Rock, with a little late 70s Punk rolled in. After dealing with recent reviews that were Americans sounding Brit, it is refreshing to hear a Brit sounding American. The album is more Rock leaning than we normally go, but it is a cracking album.
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl, CD and as a download.
