Album Review: The Sherlock’s Under Your Sky-Release date October 4, 2019

There is a reason why young people generally annoy me…they seem to have way too much fun!! This new album from The Sherlocks epitomises that carefree, jumping up and down thing that us older people can’t do anymore. It bounces from track to track with a verve and a sound that excites the feet into tapping uncontrollably and fires up any inner youth that is still hanging on. Guitar fuelled and rhythm driven, it is laden with a simple boy meets girl narrative that is essentially what Rock and Roll was built on and apologises for none of it!

“Guitar-fuelled and rhythm-driven”

From beginning to end there is a joy in the music of The Sherlocks and given that this is only their second album, the song writing shows a maturity that hints of much to come. Infectious lyrically, it feels like an album you’ve heard before, yet can’t place and dances it’s way into every moment you stay to listen. I think I played this album far too much for my own good, it made me feel stupidly young again and that can’t be good can it!

The product of a there, where, everywhere lifestyle that all service families live through combined with being born into the 60's mishmash of politics, love and an anything goes era, is it any wonder I have an eclectic and varied love of all things music. Discovering the Beatles in Malaysia, Elvis and Fred Astaire in Torquay, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin at boarding school in Cornwall, Creedance in Saudi, taught me many things, but mainly the importance of the saying, 'each to their own'; nothing artistic can be crap...it is just different and after being diagnosed with Tourettes Syndrome at 38 a lot about my life and outlook became much clearer to me, being a chef is what I do to earn money, being a much sold, self-obsessed artist tortures my dreams, but in all of it, music has remained my companion and as a friendly, happy companion with all of life’s memories entwined within their lyrics and melodies, things could definitely be worse…
