Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
For an album, a piece of recording history, to hold so much individual and seemingly disparate talent and turn it into a record such wealth and barnstorming enjoyment is either locked away in the recesses of the Rock music fan’s mind, ready to be spieled out in a lull of conversation in a pub one Friday night or actually physically existing in the form of Snakecharmer’s self-titled and cracking debut album.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
Reuben Archer’s pedigree stands before him like an outstretched monument, adorned with the knowledge that it symbolises something extra, that little piece of musical ingenuity that many strive for but just fall short of. It also takes an incredible talent to pull the amount of superb guest musicians to perform on his debut solo album and when you have the supreme gift of genius as Magnum’s/Thunder’s Harry James, Status Quo’s John ‘Rhino’ Edwards, Neil Murray, the great Luke Morley and Paul Raymond on the album, then it’s not so much as a Personal Sin, but a statement of special intent.
