Personally, I’m glad to see this album is available on vinyl, especially since it was an analogue recording. I love the packaging: the front cover captures Youlden, and the booklet gives great information on the project. Youlden was a great songwriter as well as a great interpreter of others’ work, and The Slammers did a great job backing. I love the album through and through, especially “Come On,” “Roll With Me Baby” and “Sweet Love On My Mind.” The bonus tracks from the 1991 sessions include a Chris Youlden-written song “I Wanna Stay Alive,” and this was a treat, too. The album contains covers of some classic rhythm and blues tunes. Youlden fronted Savoy Brown for four albums: Getting to the Point, Blue Matter, A Step Further, and Raw Sienna-considered their best-and followed them up with two fine solo albums, Nowhere Road and City Child.Ĭlosing Time starts with a bang, with a version of “Sugacoated Love.” Youlden brings you back to the day on this song. I had the opportunity to work and see Chris in his finest hours. Let’s start out with this: I consider Chris Youlden to be the finest blues singer to come out of the UK.
