Rob Lear, a
criminally underrated singer-songwriter… there’s a rare depth and beauty to his
songs that suggest if they were ever heard in a wider context, he’d be a
household name.
Million Stars,
Snowblind and Heaven Help are stand outs – all infused with a lovely playful
melodic sensibility that recalls the finer moments of The Beautiful South.
A roll-call of
testimonies from various music industry figures ..one in particular
jumps out at you. “If nothing happens to these songs then the record industry
must have s*** in their ears” – Kingsley Ward, owner of Rockfield Studios.
Given the owner
of the legendary studios has witnessed the likes of Queen, Led Zeppelin, The
Stone Roses and Oasis pass through his doors, you would imagine he knows what
he’s talking about. And on this occasion it’s hard to disagree with him…………….Dave
Owens, South Wales Echo, 2011
