Description
3.25 am is an album by the British singer and songwriter Bill Atwood, released on Dovetail Records in 1974. The album was recorded by Helmut Kaufmann at his Echo Studios (which was to become ICC Studios) in Eastbourne, England; with John Pantry producing. Strings arranged by Lois Buckley. All songs written by Bill Atwood.
Featuring Bill Atwood on vocals and 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars, backed by Peter Banks of After The Fire fame on keyboards, Nick Ryan on bass, and Julian Sullivan on percussion, as well as Peter Ashington on violin and Lois Buckley on cello. Background vocals provided by Cloud.
Rich-voiced Englishman’s serving of light rock significantly buoyed by the easily-recognizable synths of After The Fire’s Peter Banks. Atwood’s vocals approach the resonance of John Michael Talbot on the mellow acoustic ballads while Banks’ keyboards give several tunes a light bounce. This album could have been a dud in the hands of a weak producer, but John Pantry captures a moody feel by allowing the acoustic guitars to stand out, enhanced by violin, cello, and background vocals by the group Cloud. Throw another log on the fire, kick back, and tune in. [Ken Scott, The Archivist]
