Fast Eddie Blues Rock


2014 album of Motörhead and Fastway guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke, who takes on "Make My Day, Back To Blues" back to his blues roots. He receives support on his new album by Bill Sharpe of Shakatak at the keys.

Even in the blues guitar "format", Clarke's guitar is instantly recognizable. His solos are smooth, effortless and yes, still "fast" (at times). Most of the tracks are played at your standard blues to up-tempo blues rock pace. The exception is the instrumental, "Ethereal Blue", which could be considered a very, very distant cousin to Peter Green's "Supernatural". The vocals are really the only weak link here, lying somewhere between passable and brutal; however, Eddie's guitar consistently comes to the rescue. The rhythm section is simple and tight laying a perfect back round for Clarke's guitar. The song "Walking Too Slow" is my favorite. It could almost pass for an early Motorhead demo track. The overall sound and mix is great...no loudness wars here whatsoever.
