Album Review

Tucker Constable [allmusic.com]

Mike Rutherford's solo debut, ''Smallcreep's Day'', is pretty ambitious for such a low profile release. Based around Peter Currel Brown's novel of the same name, ''Smallcreep's Day'' offers an incredibly large plate of musical ideas filled with Rutherford's signature raw guitars and bubbling bass lines. While Rutherford does not cover the vocals himself, Mannfred Mann's Noel McCalla does, his presence is heard quite a bit throughout the LP. From the stupidly thick bass line on side two's ''Moonshine'' to the soft, lonesome and yearning romanticism of ''Time and Time Again'', Rutherford proves he is a top arranger and lyrical craftsman.

Final Rating-8/10

Stand-Out Tracks- ''Working In Line'', ''Moonshine'', ''Time and Time Again'' and ''Overnight Job''
