REVIEWS
As reviewed by Terry Allen of "hEARd" magazine, Australia:
CHARLES MCCLURE- (SELF TITLED)
The music of Charles McClure is somewhat interesting compared to other original artists around. Charles hails from Cincinnati in Ohio & he uses a fairly interesting array of musical styles influenced by just as wide an array of artists.
The opening track "Mirror" reveals his voice & playing style to be a bit of a combination between Buddy Holly & Elvis Presley, as equally impressive as either of those. Most of the six songs are in a similar vain to those artists, sounding somewhat back in time to the late fifties or early sixties, but all original compositions.
My favourite track of all here comes second up with "All Because Of You" which is a little like the sound of Chris Isaak, a bit of blues & rock combined into a very interesting song. I wish all songs on the radio had the originality & personality of this track.
Charles McClure is a very interesting character & ought to get a lot more attention than he has already garnered in his local area.

As reviewed by Dick Metcalf (aka Rotcod Zzaj) of "Improvijazzation" magazine, USA:
CHARLES MCCLURE
I picked up on this fellers' hypes on th' netz... strongly influenced by country & blues, his is most assuredly "original" music. A bit overbearing on the synth backgrounds, but then who can't be accused of that at times? (I know I surely have been guilty at times).
His use of effects on the vox is absolutely TWISTED, making a ballad come out like it was backed by the Applewhite chorale (offa' that spaceship, or somethin'). There will be some reviewers who will dismiss this IMMEDIATELY... not THIS one. Charles aural vision(s) come across as very original, & he has some great ideas. Sorta' like th' ghost of ol' Hank Williams come back to haunt us. His guitar playing isn't bad at all, tho' "bent"; especially nice on the blues-oriented pieces.
This is "volkzmusic" with a twist! Gets a RECOMMENDED, especially for those who enjoy a twist o' "strange" in their mornin' tea. Contact at 6308 Corbly St., Cincinnati, OH 45230., or via e-mail to cmcclure1@fuse.net
