Andrew ‘Clyde’ Clouston
Clouston has gained enormous respect in music circles as a thoroughly professional and highly skilful player. Most people will remember him for his work with DD Smash. He also designed the baldhead logo used by Eelman. His parting shot is a 12” single, ‘The Bag’. It’s his own composition, which he simply describes as ‘a nice feel’ (he’s a man of few words). The horn riffs are very Allen Toussaint, also strongly recalling Little Feat’s ‘Spanish Moon’. The other side features a mellow Toussaint composition, ‘Freedom’, and Matthew Moore’s ‘That’s What I Like’, originally done by Joe Cocker. Backing i$ by most of the Pelicans and assorted others. The Pelicans recall it as being recorded sometime in July or August, a happy jam session with a lot of beer mixed in. Sounds that way. Relaxed, friendly music which deserves, as the sleeve says, to be played loud. DC
