They Say...
Tip of the Top is a loose tribute to William Clarke's mentor, George Harmonica Smith, who taught Clarke many of his tricks. Clarke plays a selection of tracks that were staples in Smith's catalog (including a version of "Hard Times," which features Smith himself), as well as newer songs written in the same style. But what really makes Tip of the Top notable is how William Clarke begins to develop his distinctive, idiosyncratic sound on the record. Unlike his debut Can't You Hear Me Calling, Tip of the Top explores some new sounds, which would come to fruition in his next few albums.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
