Cary Clouser biography
Canadian composer and multi-instrumentalist Cary CLOUSER has been active as a musician in bands since the early 80's, best known among these such as Visions of Eight, Soundbox and Oracle, the latter an outfit that for many years was a tribute band but who lately have started writing and performing original material as well.

As is the case with many other songwriters, Clouser decided to kick off a solo career as well, and so far this has lead to one album - Finger Paintings - which was self released in 2008. Clouser has since signed for US label Melodic Revolution Records.

Review by Windhawk
Special Collaborator Honorary Collaborator

Promising debut by this Canadian artist.

Normally this guy play in a Jethro Tull tribute band; and one might expect this to carry over to a solo production, but apart from the quite Tull-influenced tune "Don't Know!", complete with flute solo, this isn't the case here.

Instead we're treated to a piano-dominated workout mixing influences from bands like Kansas and Yes with 70's AOR, with symphonic-tinged keyboards adding textures and acoustic; and sometimes electric; guitars adding subtle detail to the melodies. The piano is the driving instrument though, everything is based around that instrument.

Clouser has a good voice, and he's a fair songwriter as well. Nothing that sets the world on fire here, but if uplifting proggish AOR sounds like a good thing to you, this CD should be on your list of albums that should be checked out.

Thanks to windhawk for the artist addition.
