Clancy - Seriously Speaking (1975 ireland / uk, fusion of soul funk groove, laid-back pub rock, and AOR sophistication, with a deep vocal range, 2025 korean remaster)

An album with a nicely down-to-earth vibe, as you might guess from the group's sweatshirted image on the cover – but one that also has a great mix of jazzy elements as well! The record's kind of a laidback take on AOR territory of the mid 70s – served up by a British group, and not nearly as slick as similar efforts coming out of California during the time – almost with a joyous approach that has the group hitting all the right soulful notes on their instruments, and following suit on their vocals as well! The latter are shared by different group members from track to track – Dave Skinner, Colin Bass, Ernie Graham, and Barry Ford – which makes for a nice sense of variety that matches the instrumentation's shifts as well. Titles include "Sign Of The Times", "Lose Me", "Body To Body", "Back On Love", "Long Time Comin", and "Move On"
