专辑简介
Ben Glover has been compelled to write songs since his mid-teens when he was awoken and unsettled by Tom Waits and Bob Dylan. He continues to be influenced by similar artists whose songs contain lyrical richness and who take a poetic approach in exploring the human condition. Ben started performing in his home village of Glenarm in the north of Ireland when he was sixteen, and after graduating in Law he inherently knew that it was compulsory for him to pursue a career in music. Now in the spring of 2006 along with his band, “The Earls,” they release their debut EP, “The Ballad of Carla Boone.”
The Music
Ben’s songs and the music he creates with The Earls is subtle acoustic-rock that is coloured by lyrics filled with stark poetic imagery. The sound has hints of Americana but at the core of the songs and Ben’s instantly recognisable voice is the natural influence of their northern Irish roots. Comparisons in style have been made with Ryan Adams/The Waterboys/Del Amitri. Ben writes about the poignant and unguarded moments in real lives and his songs are filled with characters finding themselves on the outside of things, the fringe dwellers of society and the scorned outcasts of love affairs.
The Earls
In the summer of 2004 Ben put together his studio and touring band ‘The Earls’ featuring members: Colm McClean (guitar), Shane McVicker (piano/hammond organ), Des Rice (drums) and Paul Bluemel (bass). Ben sings and plays acoustic guitar. Although the guys are only in their mid-twenties they have vast experience both playing live and as studio session musicians. They have varied musical backgrounds and eclectic influences including classical, country, blues and rock all of which seep through the music they create.
“The Ballad of Carla Boone”
The debut EP from Ben Glover and The Earls was recorded in Amberville Studios, N.Ireland and is being self-released in April 2006. To purchase the EP and for more information, tour dates and pictures please visit www.benglover.co.uk.
