Details
[Edit]You needn't be a fan of the English rock band Barclay James Harvest to easily digest the solo recordings of founding member Stuart John “Wooly” Wolstenholme (a.k.a. Maestro). Their overall easy-on-the-ears approach makes for a listening experience that’s much more agreeable than the compilation’s title suggests. Uneasy Listening culls tracks that followed his 1979 departure from BJH. “Sail Away” opens with twin guitar harmonies riffing an infectious melody over chiming acoustics, as Wolstenholme’s demure voice hoists sails and powers the song. The heartfelt ballad “Patriots” was built on synthy soundscapes to reveal the man as a master of the keyboards—although his first instrument was a banjo, Wolstenholme became a virtuoso of the Mellotron before adapting his craft to organ, piano, and synthesizer. Songs like the dramatic “Through a Storm” spotlight his penchant for proggy epics, while more lilting numbers like “Birds” hover and float with a minimalist beauty. Fans are sure to delight in the previously unreleased folk tune “Faith, Hope and Charity” and a spare reworking of “The Angelus.”
