With the album "Pure" (released in March 2020) UK-singer Robert Hart laid down a
fine musical performance. Produced and written by Tommy Denander and Steve
Overland, Hart was the vocal centre of a record that brought us some of the
finest AOR and West Coast rock. The only thing that the album lacked was one or
two more heavy rockers as Robert Hart is an all-round singer. Something he proved
throughout his career with bands like The Distance, Bad Company, The Jones Gang
and on his two solo-albums "Cries & Whispers" and "Robert Hart". For the last
decade or so he has been the singer for Manfred Mann's Earth Band. He also
regularly tours Europe fronting several different project and bands. I believe
last year he did an acoustic tour in The Netherlands.
Although the new album "Circus Life" was recorded in January 2023 and scheduled
for release in September 2023, it was pushed back to January of this year. It is
here now and worth the wait, let me tell you. Is this album continuing the
musical path and style displayed on "Pure"? Yes and no.
A lot of the credit that this album rocks like hell must be given to the ultimate
driving force of drummer Harry James and bass player Chris Childs. With Thunder
still on hiatus the musicians of the band have the chance to do something else.
The best rhythm section that the UK has to offer at this moment just drives
"Circus Life" to a certain height and energy level. Add to that a whole army of
guitarists that play a hefty part such as Robert Sall, Keith Atack and Steve
Morris, and it shall come as no surprise that the twelve tracks on this record
have groove, panache, and some incredible solos. Steve Overland has done a great
job as producer and his recognizable background vocals add an extra flavour.
By combining AOR, a portion of bluesy rock and lots of melodic heavy rock "Circus
Life' is a must have album for people who like bands like FM, Bad Company, The
Distance, Snakecharmer et cetera. It feels good, it sounds superb, the
performances are finger licking good, the songs are up to scratch and the vocals
are top notch. What more do you want?
Ripper's Notes:
What more do I want? How about memorable songs? There is nothing really
inaccurate about the above review, but, like with all of Robert's solo albums,
the songs just aren't memorable. He is much better as part of a group, The
Distance, The Jones Gang, the final two Bad Company studio albums, and the
absolutely incredible Diesel. As the above review stated, this one does have
some nice, unique guitar work amongst those otherwise forgettable songs.
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
