Climax Blues Band - Shine On

Review by Dakota Harrell

Shine On, the 11th studio album by Climax Blues Band, is a solid offering from the veteran British blues rockers. Released in 1994, the album features 12 tracks that showcase the band's trademark sound, which blends blues, rock, and soul influences.

The album opens with the title track, a catchy blues rocker that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's musicianship is on full display throughout the album, with standout tracks like "Chasing Change" and "I Love You" featuring impressive guitar work and tight rhythms.

Vocalist Colin Cooper's soulful voice is a highlight of the album, particularly on tracks like "All the Time in the World" and "Long Distance Love", which showcase his range and emotive delivery. The album also features some memorable ballads, such as "Crazy World" and "Sign of the Times", which add a nice contrast to the more upbeat tracks.

About Climax Blues Band

last ned album Climax Blues Band - Shine On

Founded in the 60's, by Colin Cooper, Climax Blues Band has always focused on its roots, a unique combination of jazz and blues. The band has released 21 albums and had a Top 10 hit in the UK with "Couldn't Get It Right". That song and "I Love You" were also hits in the United States; "Couldn't Get It Right" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977, and "I Love You" peaked at No. 12 in 1981. In 1985, Cooper and Glover recruited guitarist Lester Hunt, drummer Roy Adams, and original member Derek Holt to record the Climax Blues Band album Drastic Steps, and this line-up toured in support of the album in the UK, Europe and America. The new line-up soon became established with Cooper, Glover, Hunt, Adams and Neil Simpson in the early 1990s, releasing the live album Blues from the Attic in 1993 and Big Blues in 2004. Cooper died of cancer, aged 69, in July 2008. He is survived by his wife and two children. He wanted the band to continue, as the other musicians had all been long serving (Glover since 1980, Adams and Hunt since 1985, and Simpson since 1991). Cooper was replaced by singer and saxophone and harmonica player Johnny Pugh, who retired in 2012, and was replaced in turn by vocalist Graham Dee and saxophone player Chris Aldridge. In 2019, Climax Blues Band released "Hands of Time

If for no other reason this albums warrants 4-stars because of the fantastic performance of Tony Joe Whites "The Gospel Singer". Climax made solid albums with grit but accessibility blending rock, the blues, funk, and just a bit of country. Start with FM Live and then go both forward and backwards. Their musical journey is pretty involving as the emphasis was on the instrumental parts and they had the goods.

Colin Cooper has one of the deepest, smokey and velvet voices in rock.

Redemption for the Gospel Singer. Makes me cry for joy for him. I have the album since like 1975 and haven't found it elsewhere. Thanks m8. How about Champagne and Rock 'n' Roll?

I have to admit, I love this song. If anyone else were doing it, it might sound cheesy and maudlin. These guys make it work. Anyway, I guess I'm getting old because it still sounds infinitely better than so much of the schlock today. Writing good love songs seems to be a lost art. . .
