Jamie Clements : Sleep Creases EP (UK,2004)***'
There has already been an overdose in mentioning or associating Nick Drake with singersongwriters in general, but for Jamie Clements I must say that the soft gentleness and guitar play there is an appropriate style reference. The songs seem at first somewhat simple, straight from the heart. Mixed with the guitar play and total presentation he delivers it as something truthful and talented. Besides acoustic guitar, I hear small touches of other instruments here and there (like some flute, mouth harmonica, organ,..). For me it’s just brilliant as it is. Recommended !
