New CD Album From Scottish 60’s Inspired Mod/Soul Combo Button Up
Garry John Kane, founding member of Button Up (and the bassist with The Proclaimers), wrote five of the ten tracks on the album and co-wrote an additional four tracks with lead vocalist Sara Kerr. The lone cover on the album is an excellent reworking of Miles Kane’s recent UK rock hit “Inhaler.”
While it consists mostly of originals, it sounds like an album of classic blues and Northern Soul covers. And that is down to the talented musicians featured on the album. The rhythm section of Kane and drummer Lesley McLaren provides a strong backbone while Kerr’s powerhouse vocals are at the top of the mix. (McLaren is also the drummer in the current lineup of Altered Images.)
