![]() David Clayton-Thomas (from the album Say Somethin’ available on Linus Entertainment) Careful moves are important when developing a career, and David Clayton-Thomas made each step count when life handed him a 10xplatinum album with his debut as lead vocalist for Blood, Sweat, and Tears on the band’s self-titled release. The album garnered five Grammy awards including Best Album and Best Performance by a Male Vocalist, topping the Billboard list for nine weeks and staying on the chart for nearly four months. While his history would never judge the songman for using achievements to erect a reboot statue standing for past glory, David Clayton-Thomas presents his latest release, Say Somethin’, as a pulpit to preach for change. Walking a midway of mad carnival music, “The Circus” spins and twirls while the music walks a Gospel march addressing “Dear Mr. Obama” as David Clayton-Thomas points fingers at “This Town” and wraps his arms around “God’s Country” Making the title of Say Somethin’ stand by its claim, David Clayton-Thomas strides into the album on the talking Blues of first cut “Burwash”, vowing “Never Again” on an equally no-nonsense beat, reads from daily headlines to pen “A Bright Shining City”, and fronts a gypsy jug band to tell the story of “King Midas”. Accepting the job title Speaker of Truths, Say Somethin’ pulls no punches as its views the state of juvenile justice in “The System”.
