Gregson,Clive Poorville (2020-05) CD

In his 40th and final year as a touring performer, Clive Gregson is releasing an album every month in 2020. Born and raised in Manchester, the accomplished singer, musician and record producer, whose career has spanned 3 decades, includes stints with Any Trouble, Richard Thompson, Nanci Griffith and a heralded solo career. "Gregson's Dozen" is an album every month of 2020 - all different, all new, all original. A topical album in these straitened times, 'Poorville', as the name suggests, is a new collection of Clive Gregson songs commenting on social themes - life in contemporary Britain reflected in musings on inequality, institutional poverty, selfishness and greed. Musically, this assured rock and pop collection, features Clive's talent across a wide range of genres, from uptempo chorus-laden Americana to melancholy ballads, this is another hook-laden collection of quality Gregson material from a master songsmith.
