SIGNAL BY THE SUN / CLIFFORD / Tonehaus Recordings ....

CD Review by Andy Riggs / ....Americana.... ....UK.... Web Site

www.americana-uk.com/html/september-05  Rated 9 out of 10....

.. ..

The Clifford Brothers consist of brothers, Brad & Bryce Clifford and this independently produced release was recorded in ....Austin.... over the last 12 months.  The brothers are joined by Kim Deschamps (formerly Cowboy Junkies pedal steel player), Tony Scalzo (from the much under-rated Fastball) and Jon Blondell (....Austin.... session player and Willie Nelson sideman).  Brad plays drums, while Bryce handles lead vocals, guitars, piano, & harmonica.....

.. ..

First track up is 'Home' and we are straight into top draw Americana, held together by some stunning pedal steel, drumming, piano and one of those guitar breaks that you wish you could play.  Telling a tale of lost love, 'And if my heart fails to bring you home, I'll blame myself, my words are desperate, they fail to move you' - it's a very strong start to the record.  ....

.. ..

'Beautiful Is Never Alone' - acoustic guitar, piano, tenor saxophone combine together with stunning, evocative lyrics 'I am the great traitor, that great hypocrite, for just one kiss could kill this loneliness, you're beautiful but it's just a sketch, you're as empty as me I bet' - this is one of the many stand out songs on this record.  The quality of the songs and playing never falters over the 40 plus minutes, its haunting harmonica, guitar and lyrics clearly show that these brothers have the talent to make their mark, overall a very impressive record.....

CD Review by Freddy Celis / ROOTSTIME - Belgium On-Line Music Review Site

.. ..

"Signal The Sun" is full of real individualistic music.  Songs full of humor and surprise in a blend of ....Americana.... rock with a pinch of country and the blues.  Songs that are at the same time raw and delicate.  You need hear Clifford's music!!  You'll be surprised by the musical pictures it paints, often filled with dark texts.  With jewels like "Last Call in the Northeast" and "....Woodstock...., Ont." these brothers certainly do show great potential in "Signal The Sun".  So watch out.

CD Review by Wiebren Rijkeboer / ....Netherlands.... Alt-Country Music Site....

www.altcountry.nl  Rated  3 ½ out of 5....

.. ..

"Here come the Canadians".  No, it's not the new American bands who are carefully but surely penetrating the Dutch market.  Clifford is also a Canadian band from Toronto, Signal The Sun (Pedstat music) is their debut CD and for the recording the brothers took off to Austin Texas with only a toothbrush, a guitar and a couple of cymbals.  Signal The Sun is a presence because of the diversity in the music, it is a combination of country via pub-rock to guitar-pop.  Bryce Clifford has a terrific voice that in the beautiful ballads touches the heart and leaves a lot of fans with their mouths wide open.  The brothers also know how to write some good pop rock songs and they don't take a second seat to any artist.  Definitely a worthwhile investment.....

Bryce and Bradford Clifford came from an art-punk band in ....Toronto...., moved to ....Austin...., and now have produced a country-tinged roots-rock album.  Blessed by the pedal steel of Cowboy Junkie Kim Deschamps, Signal the Sun is fitting in.  We love Canadian art punk!....
