Fish - Field Of Crows (2004)

 

The eight album from this artist from Great Britain.

Fish did the vocals here.

Numerous guests added percussion, drums, bass, ebow, guitars, clavinet, keyboards, woodwinds and backing vocals.

Fish returned after a three years long break. This after two good albums. Albums where he returned to his roots.

This sixty-six minutes long Field Of Crows takes us back to his first two albums and his flirtation with the US soul and Motown sound.

The sound and music is somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean as it has a lot of US influences. There is a lot of brass, make that woodwinds here.

There is still some UK folk and psych rock here. There is not much progressive rock or even art-rock here.

There are a handful of good songs here while the rest of the album is sub-standard and barely decent.

It is a bit of a disappointing album and two steps in the wrong direction. Hence....

2.5 points
