When you listen to this album, those names will be obvious. Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Faith No More, Kyuss, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Blue Cheer, Motorhead... all are referenced, but never emulated. This is heritage music re-distributed by a 21st Century attitude. Further proof of a continual growth, as this band plot its course by the stars, not by every passing light. Clutch now deservedly belongs among the elite. And they've got a crucial sense of humour. Be honest, great rock music should make you smile - that is mandatory. It also helps that there's been a business stability around these fi ve guys for some while, as Fallon explains: "This is our third album for DRT Entertainment (following on from 'Blast Tyrant' and 'Robot Hive/Exodus'). We've never previously done more than two records in a row for any other label, so this is a new territory for us! A lot of that is because this is a smaller company, and they understand what the band is about." While their past is impressive enough, the present and future for Clutch suddenly looks even brighter. "Where do we fi t into today's scene?" laughs Fallon. "I really couldn't tell you!"
With this new album, it's more a case of where everyone else fits in with Clutch. 'From Beale Street To Oblivion' is gonna take them to greater heights than ever before. Welcome aboard - enjoy the trip. The wheel is about to be re-invented.
