With comparisons to Springsteen, Dylan and Billy Bragg, Clothier is carving himself out a successful niche in the music world. JT, Classic Rock Society I have listened to Nigel Clothier's "Book of Days" a few times and each time I find different facets that I enjoy. The title song, struck home for me, as I had played it the day after my husband and I had a similar conversation. It is a love song of the deepest kind. Sally Schwartz, DaBelly.com His songs offer simple arrangements while being far from simplistic. There is much packed into each song's story to maul over in your head. Each song lets out a little bit of what can be found in Nigel's heart. The release’s title, Book of Days, is very appropriate with each song acting almost like its own little chapter in a musical book.p C.W. Ross, Senior Writer, Indie Music Stop Review He delivers some good, particularly inventive original songs as well as offering equally effective arrangements and solid vocals. Each track is like a mini story; particularly effective is the title tune, the sensitive Hepburn’s Run Away, the evocative Come North with haunting pedal steel and piano, and the sombre saloon ballad Hanging Out. While the singing is simple, the well-written lyrics will inevitably draw the listener in. Alan Cackett, Editor, Maverick Nigel Clothier has produced the first great album of 2008. Over the course of 11 songs Clothier takes you deep into both his heart and the heart of some exquisite music. Clothier's diction, the tunes and the downright love on songs such as the title track, Whisper in My Mouth and Little English will melt the hardest of hearts. Yet this is no one-paced album as the jaunty celebration of Manchester (and Ian Brown) in Exceptin' a Beach hits the honky tonk path via rockabilly to happiness whilst the upcoming single Come North introduces the casual listener into both Clothier's and our world. Joe Hawkins, Mudhutter Clothier's lyrics are charmingly exact and exactly descriptive. His music is simplistic but precise and annoyingly catchy. 'Come North' sits squarely in the folk idiom with a distinct feeling of urban story-telling/harsh-reality. But, there's something there that drags you in - quite what or how it happens I'm not really sure but it does creep up on you! Clothier does something here that's difficult to put in words - he makes you listen. Toxic Pete Season of the Rose shows off Clothier's sensitive vocals and inspired song writing as he laments lost love. Clothier sings wonderfully to a folk-inspired and sweet melody. Clothier's debut probably won’t cause much fuss as long as the media is obsessed with people with more cool credentials than good melodies, but he clearly deserves more. Anna Maria Stjärnell, Luna Kafe Nigel Clothier makes music for adults. Turn it on and you get transported to a terrace in the mountains on a warm summer day, and you’re sitting there in the shade drinking a cold non-alcoholic wheat-beer.I was very impressed by the high consistent quality of Clothier’s music. Gary Levinson, Indie Music Review 'Come North'… a quirky little tune that grows and grows on you with it's simple guitar, tambourine and vocal parts. Simple done good. www.tastyfanzine.org.uk On Come North we have folk meets country meets story-telling. Always something I've been fond of within songwriters, their ability to tell stories through their songs. Instantly as the intro kicks in you can't help but tap your foot. www.floatationsuite.com Nigel Clothier makes great use of melody and understands the importance of a hook, particularly when you don't have a lot of time to snag your audience. It also serves to remind that music does not have to be dark and harrowing in order to have legitimacy and be 'real'. www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/releases.html In the spirit of Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, his music is gently spirited, calming waters running deep. His lyrics are a reflection on “the perfect imperfections” of love and life. With mellow vocal performance and the complex lyrical depths of a poet, the album speaks to the heart on an aesthetic and emotional level. The music is perfectly suited to introspection, contemplation, and a close slow dance on a rainy night. With the stark bareness of the instrumental arrangement, Clothier’s delivery is void of stadium glitz and glam. His approach is simple, honest, earthy. Sober and traditional, snappy and catchy, bluesy with a country twang, Book of Days is a satisfying journey from a seasoned artist with an understanding of the vulnerability that we often try to hide and skilled in the narrative song writing that immortalizes the human experience.
