Jay Clifford has a rich history of critically acclaimed albums. Over the past 10 years he has released 7 records as the principal songwriter and singer for the grass roots band Jump, Little Children and 2 LP's for the secret society Rosebud. For his debut solo record entitled 'Driving Blind' Jay draws on his vast experience, seemingly endless inspiration and distinctly personal vocals to create a work of exhilarating sophistication.
The emotional road trip begins in a rush with 'Know When To Walk Away' which immediately has all cylinders firing. The title track 'Driving Blind' quickens the pace with part reckless abandon, part nostalgic string section. The cinematic ballad 'Caught In The Rain' offers a moment of grand scenery and the confessional 'Paralyze' and epic 'Waltzing Past The Grave' make getting there not just half the fun but may indeed be all of it. This unapologetically honest collection of songs provides a rare opportunity to enjoy the experience of a full album rather than an isolated single, proving that 'Driving Blind' is truly captivating from beginning to end.
