3.0 out of 5 stars
Too many influences, August 26, 2005
This review is from: Name Above the Title (Audio CD)
Still trying to find his way through a variety of influences, Harding creates another likeable but ultimately forgettable collection of tunes. Elvis Costello's sound is here on songs like "The Movie of your Life" and "Long Dead Gone," (Pete Thomas of The Attractions is even the drummer.) "Save a Little Room for Me" has more than a touch of Van Morrison, and even Springsteen and Dylan seem to be present in spirit if not reality. The only problem is Harding gets lost in the mix. Every time I listen to Harding, I keep thinking there is an artist here who is trying to break free from his influences, as excellent as they are, but I never seem to get to the essence of what Harding is capable of.
