Clive Carroll - Life in Colour

Reviews

Acoustic Magazine

From the opening notes of Clive’s own Jerry Douglas style All This Time to the closing classical chords of John Dowland’s tune this is top shelf virtuoso playing. But there is nothing high brow or po faced about this cd. Clive takes us on a touching and joyful journey through his musical influences where Django meets Chet while Renbourn picks out a Delta Blues in the background. Masterful.
