Running Down the Clock
Running Down The Clock – Norman Beaker
Norman Beaker, legendary Blues Hall Of Fame® Inductee, is back with a brand new album. ‘Running Down The Clock’ encompasses all of the genres that have influenced Norman over the last 50 years including rock, blues, jazz, soul, gospel, rockabilly, funk and some infectious crossover songs as well.
In 2017, Norman Beaker became only the eighth 21st century British legend in the Blues Hall Of Fame® alongside the likes of Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Jack Bruce, Peter Green, John Mayall and Jeff Beck.
The tracks contained on ‘Running Down The Clock’ are all original, and reflect lyrically what’s happening in our modern times. The album was recorded in Zagreb, Croatia with John Price on bass and Leo Baltazar on drums making for a real powerful, tasteful rhythm section. The album manages to maintain a live feel, which is so important for this superb live touring band.
Norman has kept his signature sound alive throughout his career whether playing solo or with a who’s who of blues, soul, jazz, rock and pop from both sides of the Atlantic – including Chuck Berry, Jack Bruce, Buddy Guy, Van Morrison, Lowell Fulson and B.B. King who said “Norman is like a white Freddie King”.
