Mutter Slater Band - The Masquerade Album and Let's Call It a Draw Single Thoroughbred Music is delighted to announce the release of the legendary Mutter Slater Band’s (MSB) single 'Let’s Call It a Draw’ and the CD and digital album 'The Masquerade'. Great album review in Blues Matters Magazine by Adrian Blacklee:

 THE BAND

Mutter Slater – Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar
Chris Cleaver – Lead Guitar & Backing Vocal
Clive Ashley – Saxophone
Tom Hughes – Keyboards
Dan Wheeler – Drums & Backing Vocal
Laurie Higgins – Bass Guitar

Mutter Slater was the front man and flute player for the 70’s cult band Stackridge (produced by George Martin, signed by Elton John): a group that established itself as a firm favourite on countless stages throughout the land and appeared regularly on BBC TV’s The Old Grey Whistle Test and John Peel’s radio programs.

 After Stackridge, Mutter returned to a life of quiet domesticity in the Southwest of England. The songwriting and performing bug eventually got the better of him, leading to the formation of his band and a return to the recording studios – Love & Hate 2006; Riding A Hurricane 2008 (produced by Billy Bragg) and 2014’s Absobloodylutely. His own fabulous brand of American Blues, Soul and R’n’B

 His songs reflect his primary interest in 60’s American blues, soul and R’n’B as well as his persistent addiction to a ‘half decent tune’. The music is warm, harmonically panoramic, and edgy. Lyrically it’s intriguing; telling of human strengths and frailties and illicit loves, bar room observations, train rides, bus rides, long walks, and cosmic disintegration.

 Mutter’s voice has matured too over the years. It remains blue eyed soul at its finest, but the edges are softer and the range subtly extended imbuing it with more poignancy and meaning than had been heard before The Mutter Slater Band.
