Review Gary Brooker [UK]

The latest Palers' Project 'From Shadow to Shadow' is stuffed with gems – not tribute band homage but original treatments, sometimes off the wall – sometimes massive, but always with real imagination and musicianship.

Impassioned Italians, growling Americans, guitars that sound more like Trower than Trower – cheeky comedy, churning Salty Dogs, versatile families, until the whole becomes larger than the sum of the parts.

Forty songs – more than seventy musicians and singers from across the straits and around the Horn – a very worthy follow-up to 'Thru the Looking Glass'.

As far as having this in your collection the asking price is worth every penny just to have Conquistador by Conjunto Jardín – one of the most appealing 'covers' of Procol I've ever heard.

Get it now or never know what you missed.

To be listened to in the spirit ...
