MIKE SILVER - HOW MANY RIVERS
Mike Silver is synonymous with producing music of the highest calibre, his recently released album “How Many Rivers” reiterates his standing as one of the most iconic singer-songwriters over the past three decades.
Each of the 12 tracks combines both vocal richness and heartfelt lyrics, which are sung with a voice which could radiate warmth in a bathtub of ice. At times the lyrics and sound flow very easily, yet still touch many a nerve and the deep feelings of the listener.
The whole spectrum of everyday life experiences and observations are covered, from the “Breaking News (Still My Girl)” where every father of a daughter, will instantly relate to how the feel to protect your little girl, even as she reaches maturity, never leaves you, to a modern day observation with “Listen” highlights the overuse of lip service and how talk is cheap and the realisation of the plethora of people who listen without ever hearing anything of substance. The track “No Good Times Came” questions the looking at past experiences/life through rose-tinted glasses, but then positively taking on what the future has in store. Finally Mike’s humour is highlighted with the track “Oh Doctor” and the acknowledgement that we have all been trapped in those situations and trying to plan our escape without success.
This is Mike Silver at his brilliant best and an album which will have very few, if any peers in 2009.
Mike Silver pays a rare visit to Leeds on 7th Feb when he plays at St George's Church, Great George Street, Leeds, with a 7-30 start, see the man live and buy the CD, you will not be disappointed.
