Words by Adrian Ball
Ben Poole is a solid all-rounder; guitarist, singer and song-writer, and his new album Anytime You Need Me, is out Friday 14th September. Released prior to Ben’s largest tour to date, this new offering can expect to be warmly welcomed by his already decent fan base.
Described as the best representation of Ben’s attitude, energy and excitement on a recording, it all adds up. Class and style are oozing from the very first track and this musical presentation continues to shoot through the stratosphere with the quality of delivery. Each track is of monolithic proportions, highlighting the song-writing skills and technical guitar work. It’s exquisite, from the slow and melodic soulful songs to the rip roaring solos. The vocal ranges cover a massive spectrum and never fail to excite. There’s rock, blues and plenty of soul.
The songs fit together perfectly and flow beautifully, with subtle changes of pace and guitar work to create a perfect storm.
Highlights aside from the gorgeous title track and opener, other must mentions are Found Out The Hard Wayand the stunning cover of Don Henley’s Dirty Laundry which sits with ease alongside Ben’s originals.
This album deserves to deliver big things for Ben and should be included on everyone’s wish list.
