Martin Harley
– Mojo Fix (60/20 Records).
Welcome to the big time, Martin Harley! He mixes things up
with the Reggae beat of Rum Shack and acoustic Folk of Cardboard King, the
latter rivalling current overlords, Sheerin and Howard. However, it’s when he
unleashes Ry Cooder influenced electric slide on Working For The Man, Mean Old
City and Ball & Chain that he shines. The title track hints towards White
Stripes and Outlaw has markings of rebel Country. Wrecking Ball highlights
Jazz, Blues and Big Band whereas Tightrope and Treading Water show acoustic
class, the former a marriage of Paolo Nutini and The Stereophonics. Harley has
it all – voice, guitar artistry and the songs. Can’t wait for a live
performance!
David Blue.
