Bottom Line

Singer Clinton Bell wrote “Like a River,” as an inner voice dialogue that often penetrates his mind with long hours on the road, and like all of us – when doubt can creep in. This is the first recording featuring the new lineup with Olive Kotze on bass and Arie Harris on drums. "Like A River" has large jangling guitars and a power chorus reminiscent of great songs of the 80s, it is filled with encouragement and positive reminders that when it gets too touch, flow like a river and let the worry fall off you back. Bell has a vocal style that harkens Bono, and the supporting writing style supports that same notion. A bit of vintage panache with a modern take. Who says style never repeats itself.
