Arthur Fowler - What's Keeping Me Going
As a matter of fact, Fowler sounds to have fallen more under the spell of Bob Marley than Hendrix because both "Please Try" and "Love the Music" groove to a reggae beat. Fowler's one nod to Hendrix, a cover of "Room Full of Mirrors," is done has a kind of acoustic, Cajun accordion number, rendering it nearly unrecognizable from the far louder original. Fowler takes on the work of a another icon with his cover of Neil Young's "For the Turnstiles." His rendition is highlighted by some soulful harmonica playing, which gives it a kind of Willie Nelson feel.
Fowler shows off his jazzier side with the swinging instrumental, "Twilight Breeze." It's worth noting that Fowler is a passable, but not strong, vocalist and his lyrics can be a touch awkward in places. He's at his best, therefore, whenever he just lets his guitar do all the talking - as he does so beautifully with this track.
Arthur Fowler's What's Keeping Me Going is recommended for its smart cover songs and exemplary guitar work.
