Singer and guitar player Mick Clarke has decided not to include a bass player in this new album and set himself a programmed instrument Only backed by Russell Chaney on drums and an harmonica player called Dangerous Dave Newman in some cuts, Mick has produced a well done album, intense but at the same time unpretentious, with no flamboyant decoration, full of good intentions and commitment for what they are doing The album may satisfy or not but what is undeniable is Mick Clarke does his best in this new collection of twelve own songs For many English fans Clarke is called to become the new Rory Gallaher but in my opinion it is daring to say it, as both musicians keep huge differences in sound, concept, technique, phrasing and blues spirit, although the true thing is there are different opinions and tastes and all deserve respect If you liked his previous cds, or you already are Mick Clarke’s fans, then I’m sure this The Rambunctious Blues Experiment will satisfy all the expectations you have placed on him
