This review is from: Diamond Mine (Audio CD)

Where does one start? When it comes to Aussie icons, you can keep Jimmy Barnes, Kylie Minogue and the like. I only need Richard Clapton. From his breakthrough hit Girls on the Avenue through to 2004's Diamond Mine album, the ride has been a joy at every step.

Diamond Mine is 13 new songs that reflect where Clapton is today, with musical references to his best works such as Glory Road and Goodbye Tiger. Sure, there are some love songs in that typical Clapton style, and some out and out summer rockers, and a touch or two of the acoustic vibe that doesn't get enough of a work out for my money.

Recorded at home, these songs feature artists such as Diesel, Ian Moss, Taxiride, and the best from The Whitlams, and silverchair. The songs are new, yet somehow seem so familiar. There is some dabbling in new technology, but don't be fooled into thinking that Clapton has sold out and gone all modern. No way.

This album is as good as any he's done and if you own ANY Clapton, then this is going to sit very comfortably on the shelf right next to it and will get repeated plays.
