Color Changes [Remastered] - Clark Terry

Advantages: a slow burning masterpiece
Disadvantages: their last album together

...Its fair to say that you would have to have at least a passing interest in the psychedelic era to be interested in this record ,but if that,s already established and you havent heard this timeless beauty then now is the time ! The legend of Love and Forever Changes has grown steadily over the last 35 years or so ,from hard to find obscurity to expanded and celebrated masterpiece ,if youve heard anything of this album then it would almost certainly be the opening track "Alone Again or",with its Mexican flavoured climax awash with trumpets and Spanish guitar ,this however does not typify the rest of the album though its constituent parts do shape its sound ,"A House is not a Hotel"comes off the blocks with a guitar powered sprint and sparing trumpet with the whole thing coming to an abrupt end following a viscious two note guitar...

...Terri Clark is one of those artists that just gets better every time you listen to her music. This CD is all about her different styles from what I call pop country on "Thats me not loving you" to a real country song on "Cure for the common heartache". The fact that Terri Clark can cover such a range of styles shows what a talented artist and songwriter she is. All of the songs on this CD can evoke a different mood when you listen to them, but put them together and you just sit back and enjoy the show.
