Days Go By
 
Days Go By Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $13.00
Artist: Mick Terry
 
 
Quantity:
 

Released in the UK on vinyl only, the follow up to 2010’s release "The Grown Ups" makes its CD debut.  The long awaited, "difficult 2nd" album (and Kool Kat Musik label debut), is a heady mix of Power Pop, 70's AOR, Motown and Americana.  Produced by Jim Boggia (who also produced “The Grown Ups”), the album features several guest musicians including Tracy Bonham, Richard Causon (Ryan Adams, Jayhawks, Ray Davies), Dana Myzer (Cotton Mather, Farrah), Henrik Irgens (Natalie Imbruglia, Jamie Lawson), and Rosalie Deighton (Danny and The Champions).  The songs are expertly arranged and curated by Boggia and are the sound of a truly magical collaboration between the artist and his producer.  “‘Riverbend’ is especially lovely, casting Mick a little further away from his trademark pop and instead dabbling with light Americana. Throughout this ballad, his acoustic strums come in a very assured manner, as does his very natural voice, but it’s the extra embellishments that lift it from being just another acoustic ditty to something special. Rosalie Deighton adds some lovely understated harmonies throughout, whilst a mournful steel guitar accentuates the sadness of the song, making it sound like Terry’s own homage to Ryan Adams & The Cardinals.  Mick was always a pop fiend at heart, and ‘Pop’s A Dirty Word’ flaunts this with abandon.  With a combination of acoustic and electric ingredients driven by a ringing guitar riff, ‘Emily Come Back’ is a fine piece of pop that melds a thoughtful verse with an upbeat hook. Traces of Danny Wilson meet the sounds of Jim Boggia to give Terry a great track that deserves to become an underground classic. With a stabbed piano set against a rigid beat, ‘Everybody’s Talking’ isn’t a popped up rendition of the Nilsson classic, but instead, Terry’s own take on an old Northern Soul workout.  Here, his pop chops tap into an arrangement with echoes of Holland-Dozier-Holland and The Temptations and it’s surprising that he sounds so comfortable, vocally speaking, the overall vibe of the track is amazing; a feel-good, sun-drenched nod to yesteryear.  ‘Stars’ is a brilliant semi-acoustic, 70’s inspired piece of pop with a wonderful, George Harrison-esque slide guitar adding a melodic counterpoint to his vocal – and overall, the piece has a mellow pop vibe that harkens back to legends like Paul Carrack’s Ace.  The whole of ‘Days Go By’ is good to great, but this track is the clear winner.  ‘Arthur’s Tale’ revisits a rumpty-tumpty Jellyfish-y arrangement, something Terry first explored on the semi-autobiographical ‘Hoxton Song’ almost a decade previously.  Stabbed pianos and more reminiscence fills the bouncy ‘Rocking In The Photograph’, a track with an enthusiastic vocal and finely played twin lead, the ghosts of the best 10cc works were obviously haunting the studio space.  Despite having a sneering lyric, ‘Friends Like That’ wins through with a great melodic backbone. Accompanied by a stabbed electric piano and a slow rumpty-tumpty rhythm, again, a love of 10cc again looms large. With Terry’s voice curled against a higher backing vocal and brassy interlude, everything screams 70’s and it’s a definite throwback. By the time a semi-bluesy electric guitar solo saunters into the arrangement, followed by a jazzy piano coda, there’s very much a feeling that Boggia’s much-loved kitchen sink production has come into play.  Boggia’s production makes most of the songs sparkle, but full credit should be given to Terry for maturing as a songwriter. ‘Emily Come Back’, ‘Pop’s A Dirty Word’ and the wistful ‘Stars’ are especially strong. In terms of a loving homage to the AM radio pop that would have filled the musician’s ears as a boy, this album couldn’t have turned out finer.” – RealGoneRocks.com  GREAT!!
