Liam Davison – A Treasure of Well-Set Jewels
Wymer Records
http://records.wymeruk.co.uk

Rating: B+

Who needs a new Pink Floyd album when we have Liam Davison around? Who, you may ask is Liam Davison and how can I compare him to the might Floyd? Well, he is the guitar player for the European rock group Mostly Autumn and his new album, A Treasure of Well-Set Jewels is more Floyd than the Division Bell was Floyd. Not saying he is copying Pink but rather saying that he has a similar songwriting style and he does it well.

“Ride the Seventh Wave” is all that needs to be heard to get my drift but in case that is not enough to convince the most skeptic listener then keep the disc going because “The Way We Were” and “Emerald Eternity” are more examples of this guys genius. Yep, Liam is good. He may be better than his day gig. In fact, if he keeps this streak up with future releases then he won’t need Mostly Autumn anymore. They will be getting asked questions of what it was like to work with him before he broke big.

Not sure if the world of rock still cares enough to support and listen to real music but if it does then Liam Davison is going to wake a lot of people up with his dreamy, visceral soundscapes. This one is winner.
