Colours Simple Case Hardin SKU: CRUK0031LP Barcode: 5065002010216 15.00 £15.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Clubhouse Records Released Date: 9th June 2018 Buying Format: 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Following on from their critically acclaimed ‘PM’ album, a record that really underlined Pete Gow’s position of one of the UK finest songwriters, Colours Simple sonically delivers a fuller band approach and one that is both fuelled and driven by the sublime fretwork of guitarist Jim Maving and grounded by rhythm section Tim Emery and Andy Bastow, with Mike Wesson once again in the piano/organ hot seat. Recorded at Chris Clarke’s Reservoir Studios in north London, Colours Simple opens with the anthemic Poets Corner, that sets the tone for much of the record. Gow sings about love, loss, isolation and life in the shadows. Like all the albums before, lyrically Gow’s songs paint word picture vignettes, moments in time where the players battle on the frontline of emotion. And are forever questioning their place in the world. The liner notes – a dry essay on the death of liner notes – are provided by Gow’s friend and colleague – CBS News Senior Foreign Correspondent Mark Phillips. Review Pete Gow likes to tell stories, and in his other life as a war correspondent for CBS News Case Hardin’s chief songwriter is no stranger to desperate situations. Like Richmond Fontaine’s novel-writing lyricist Willy Vlautin, Gow doesn’t so much write songs as set stories to music… Intense and furrow-browed, Colours Simple creates a world where characters tumble into each other for better or (mostly) worse, but kick up a pair of cowboy heels as they ride Hell’s hay cart – **** –Andy Fyfe, Q, October 2015 Quite simply, with no pun intended, Colours Simple by Case Hardin is a record to treasure and a collection of songs knee deep in marvelled magnificence. Long live the complete album in all its glory and that a British band from the thriving independent sector can engage in such artistry – Three Chords And The Truth UK, 18th August 2015; It’s hard to think of an album that deserves the full set of stars more than Colours Simple, which is, quite simply, epic in its greatness…It might be classed as Americana, but it’s rock ‘n’ roll, music made with heart and soul, with power and passion; music that gut-punches your emotions and hits you where it hurts…Magnificent – ***** –Jeremy Searle, R2, December 2015 Pete Gow and Case Hardin are fast carving out a place for themselves in the list of finest UK songwriters. Colours Simple is ambitious, headstrong and no holds-barred. It lacks bulls**t and takes no quarter. It arrives in your speakers like a debut record, crackling with the energy of players in their teens or early twenties (a situation that for Gow et al has, alas, all but disappeared in the rearview mirror), but benefits from a mature perspective that weighs equal amounts of reflective honesty and resigned habit and judges both almost to perfection. Put simply, Colours.. is an exponential leap forward, and that s from a point way up the scale already… Come the revolution, all music will be made this way; with heart and head, honesty and vigor, as if it means something. Colours Simple is immediate and lasting, a great big bar-room brawl of an album where the pugilists roll up their sleeves and shake your hand before taking you down. Turn it on, crank it up, down your shot and wade in. –Eye Level With The Stylus, July 2015 Artist Case Hardin Genre Americana / Country , Folk , World / Fusion Label Clubhouse Records Buying Options 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings 1 Poets Corner 8:22 2 These Three Cities 4:40 3 Roll Damnation Roll 5:10 4 (Jesus Christ Tomorrow Morning) Do I Still Have To Feel This Way? 2:56 5 Fiction Writer 4:44 6 Cheap Streaks From A Bottle 3:34 7 The Streets Are Where The Bars Are (The Bars Are Where The Girls Will Be) 4:01 8 High Rollers 7:08 9 A Mention In Dispatches 4:58 10 Another Toytown Morning Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Americana / Country View Product Quick View Steve Earle El Corazon Americana / Country | Warner Bros | 1LP Released 24th November 2017 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Earle El Corazon £21.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Warner Bros SKU: 093624910619 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 24th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ags Connolly Siempre Americana / Country | Finstock Music | 1LP Released 16th June 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ags Connolly Siempre £20.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Finstock Music SKU: FINST002LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Carter Family, The The Unbroken Circle Americana / Country | Dualtone | 2LP Released 3rd June 2016 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Carter Family, The The Unbroken Circle £26.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Dualtone SKU: DUA17021 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 3rd June 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Scott H Biram Bad Ingredients Americana / Country | Bloodshot | 1LP Released 6th October 2011 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Scott H Biram Bad Ingredients £17.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Bloodshot SKU: BS190LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th October 2011 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Andrew Combs Worried Man Americana / Country | Loose Music | 1LP Released 18th January 2019 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Andrew Combs Worried Man £16.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Loose Music SKU: VJLP244 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 18th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jim White Vs.
