BrumBeat Review In For KLD 2!

KIDZLIKEDANNY 2 (Dannyboy Music), Matt Tyler’s second compilation of local acts in aid of autistic youngsters, is due for release via Itunes, Napster, Emusic and other download sites from March and, once again, features an eclectic but always interesting variety of names. Other than Aaron Yorke’s opening strummed I Remember The Days and the closing Blue Kids, an unexpected but excellent contribution from veteran country star Raymond Froggatt, as far as I can tell most of these are generally previously unreleased tracks.

Politcial alt-ska outfit Cracked Actors are on fiery form with Captive nestling in complete contrast alongside Take And Give from Bloxwich acoustic singer-songwriter Caroline 7 which in turn gives way to the old school bluesy pub rock of Crisis Blues Band with Truth And Lies. Everett come from Dudley with their Sit And Listen bearing witness to their Snow Patrol influences, Close Your Eyes is from Leicester folkie Ian Babington, Kristy Gallacher sings Broken Record Player and sounds like Coventry’s answer to Kate Nash.

A more familiar name, Matt Geary has been around a while winning admirers for his Elliot Smith/Dylan influenced indie alt-folk. Recently signed to Boy Wonder Records, he has a new album in the works for later this year, meanwhile his 2006 track Temperance gets an Andy Wickett remix. I have no idea who Mavoxor are but The Man Who Wants Everything is very much prog-folk in a good way. Onion Child is Kidderminster singer-songwriter Ryan Jordan who numbers Robert Johnson, Charlie Parker, John Martyn and The Bluetones among his influences, and gives good acoustic blues on The Bailiff while Stourbridge’s Raging Angel are, as the name might suggest, a rock outfit whose Hole In The Head is pretty standard stuff for the blues metal genre. Which just leaves Stranger Within, seemingly a hitherto unrecorded track from local Celtic folklore veterans Quill.

Not everything is going to appeal to everyone, but there’s more than enough here to repay the purchase, and it’s for a good cause.
