Album Of The Week Fallen by Peter Barton and Jerry Donahue Peter’s glorious gritty vocals open this album in a corker of a rock song called The Runner. The soul brass section underpins the lightning blues rock guitar from Jerry.

Organic is a humourous, country rock number with a sway to the rhythm beat. It has a strong hook and melds sax, keyboards and guitar into a crunchy melody. It also has my vote for one of the craziest lines in a song; Don’t panic I know it’s organic What Can I Say has some delicate fingerpicking guitar, some sea rush cymbals over a pretty tune. It has a sad feeling of loss pervading the track Mixed Emotion is a cheerful little instrumental with a solid beat and experimental time changes. It has a jazz-charged tinge overlaid by The Shadows style rock ‘n’ roll guitar.

There is a haunting little jazz blues ballad called Silver Horses and a pure rock ‘n’ roll sing a long in What’s Life About.

A lush instrumental of rock guitar in the style of Eric Clapton makes up First Encounter. .

Peter at his best comes in the powerful track Looking For The Light. It has the distinct Animals And Friends feel and vocals that give shivers down the spine.

Italian Cowboy showcases the softer side of Pete’s vocals with female backing singers adding to the gentle touch.

Last but by no means least is Peter and Jerry’s version of House Of The Rising Sun, a stunning finale to a rock classic of an album, that is still in my CD player - always a good sign. - Flicky Harrison
