About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: When the band entered the world famous Abbey Road Studios to commence recording in January 2020, they never guessed that a pandemic was about to turn their plans upside down.As band members became unable to take part, Ross realised that he would need to hire session players to fill the gaps. He asked his long-time friend Lyndon Connah to play keyboards and assist with production. Connah's extensive resume includes work with Level 42, George Michael, Squeeze, Joe Cocker, Thomas Dolby, Nik Kershaw and Go West. Next, Wienerworld's Anthony Broza suggested blues guitarist Norman Beaker. A native of Manchester, Beaker has been involved with the British blues scene since the 1960s and has toured and/or recorded with Jack Bruce, Chris Farlowe, Van Morrison, Chuck Berry and B.B. King among many others.The wide array of talent involved in the collaboration yielded spectacular results. The warm and lustrous 'Faith' is a radio-friendly standout; a love song caressed by piano and light samba rhythms. Bold and brass-driven, 'Checkin' Out The Vibe' is a modern take on the bluesy classic rock strut of The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, and Dr. Feelgood. Alex Ward provides stinging guitar licks while David Brammer and Jamie Wall's brass arrangement is straight out of the Muscle Shoals songbook. 'All The Things We Started' shares a similar glow, featuring a soaring, emotive vocal by Ross. 'Crossroads' and 'In The Middle Of The Night' venture into gospel territory, slowly building in intensity in a manner that recalls vintage sides on Apple Records, as well as more current artists like Primal Scream and Spiritualized. 'Sweet Memories Of You' has echoes of Pink Floyd. 'Blue Crystal' is another slow build with a melody worthy of Noel Gallagher. And finally, 'Something Changed My Mind' says farewell to a lover as the Hammond organ adds charms to an up-tempo country stroll. Album Tracks
