Description
Change in the Wind is the sixth studio album by the American singer and songwriter Paul Clark, released on Clark’s own label Seed Records in 1978, through the Jubilation Group distribution arm of Myrrh Records, a division of Word. The album was recorded by Bobby Cotton at Associated Recorders in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; starting in October 1977 with Paul Clark producing. Mixed February 1978 by Grammy Award winning engineer, John Guess at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Hollywood, California.
Paul Clark is backed by a session band consisting of Harlan Rogers (piano), Richard Bugg (Arp 2600), Curt Bartlett (1960 Epiphone Sheraton guitar), Don Juntnen (1958 Gibson Flying V through a 1959 Fender Tweed Champ Amp), Hadley Hockensmith (1962 Fender P-Bass through a Vox Fuzz Face), and Bill Maxwell (drums), with Jim Hochanadel sitting in on saxophone. Backing vocals provided by Judy Cotton, Rhenda Edwards, as well as Paul Clark.
Change In The Wind follows a pattern very similar to Hand To The Plow. Some great straight-ahead rockers, including the opening title track and «Me In You». Robust brass backing and vibrant electric guitar leads spruce up «Ounce Of Prevention», «He Wouldn’t Lie» and «Come On», once again leaving a few Steely Dan jazz-rock impressions. Lively saxophone and a hint of funky disco on «Are You Still With Us?». «Encounter At Caneel Bay» and «Come Back Home» are effective piano ballads, while «Called My Name» provides a soft-jazz mood ala Kenny G. Harlan Rogers and Hadley Hockensmith return, while Bill Maxwell joins on drums. [Ken Scott, The Archivist, 4th Edition]
