Another rave review for The British Bluescasting Corporation’s album, High Horse! This time it’s Herman Primus and the wonderful Blues Club Magazine that lend a critical ear to the band. Thanks, Herman. See the feature here https://issuu.com/thebluesclub/docs/tbc_mag_vol_1_issue_5_may_june_2022/s/16103161
“I get a number of albums and tracks sent each week for review and it’s always a pleasure to put headphones on and just sit back and listen to something new and original. One recent album, mainly original, was High Horse from The British Bluescasting Corporation, a four piece band from the UK. It’s their debut album and it’s a good one.
I’m mainly a 100% old style Afro American bluesman but I was brought up in London and on the early British Blues scene, so it was a real pleasure to hear a band that has some of the touches of originality of the early bands. They haven’t cloned the blues or other bands, they have created something new that is difficult to define, but in my humble opinion this band will, in time, become one of the best British bands around. The title track High Horse is one of nine original songs on the album alongside three covers. Bob Cranham (Guitar & Vocals) wrote eight of those, including High Horse and has produced over 50 albums for other musicians, including six Top 5 singles on the iTunes Rock Chart in 2021. Dave Williamson on bass and Vocals also has a star studded background having played with the likes of Midge Ure, Beverley Knight, Lisa Stansfield and a host of others. Barry Cook on drums has toured with so many of the greats like Ben E King, The Drifters, The Three Degrees and many more. Benny Keen on Guitar and vocals rounds off the band.
We all hear and feel music differently and I “heard” and “felt” this album and this band.”
