As former guitarist with such outstanding ensembles as SPOOKY TOOTH and MOTT THE HOOPLE, as well as supergroup WIDOWMAKER, Luther Grosvenor seemed to possess a lot of gravitas, even though his solo career has brought forth a mere handful of albums. But if the veteran’s first, “Under Open Skies” from 1971, remains a focal point for many of his fans, Luther’s further opuses, such as "If You Dare" from 2011, are criminally ignored – and not surprisingly, given how sparse Grosvenor’s release schedule is. What’s surprising is the fact that he has just followed last year’s “Another Journey” with a fresh work.
I Really Don’t Know
As its predecessor, “I Really Don’t Know” is a digital-only issue, which shouldn’t diminish the record’s appeal that’s quite strong given there are contributions from members of the MOTT camp and Ian Hunter’s THE RANT BAND. One may only hope these last offering from the man also known as Ariel Bender will be out on a hard medium in the future.
