Various Artists Kidzlikedanny
Review by Mike Davies BEAT www.roots –and-branches.com Put together by Matt Tyler's label, Dannyboy Records, KidzLikeDanny's an autism charity album download (on www.kidzlikedanny.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk) compilation of West Mids singer-songwriters. Featuring 16 different acts, both acoustic and electric, there's no individual information but there's plenty here worth checking out. Names that stand out in particular include Amoa (Sunshine In Your Eye), the scuffed folk beat of Angels Exist (U-Turn), Blue Nation's big music I Feel Inspired, young Jacob Lloyd's Two Souls Entwined, a quivering voiced Karl Bayley (Forever Young), the delicate folk of Subrosa (Avoidance) and, of course, Tyler himself. For me though, the standout is the two minute plaintive gentle soft voiced harmonising acoustic Shopping Trolley by Bham duo Motorcyclestunts,a track that makes you want to find out more about their new album Far From Home.
