Stephen Clair and the Pushbacks – Take It Downtown:
Stephen Clair and The Pushbacks sparkles with rich, restrained guitar work. It has a deep pop sensibility, leavened with a writerβs eye for detail; and the horns, keys and harmonies add a keen thumbprint to what Bloodshot Recordsβ Nan Warshaw calls, βliterary, story-telling songs like Chuck Prophet, with a range of feeling from SteveΒ ForbertΒ to AlejandroΒ Escovedo.β Clairββa fearless performerβ according to the San Antonio Expressβhas spent his lifetime telling stories, and his new album is a carom from the days when radio could save your life and a song was all you needed. Stephen Clair writes those songs.
