Only the second vocal album from guitarist, composer, and bandleader Todd Clouser, Man With No Country harnesses Clouser's insightful, questioning songs to dynamic musical backdrops that roil and churn with a keen intensity born of focused, intent improvisation. Produced by renowned drummer and composer Anton Fier (Golden Palominos, Lounge Lizards, Feelies, and more) and featuring a cast of downtown New York luminaries including trumpeter Steven Bernstein (Sex Mob), bassist Tony Scherr (Jesse Harris, Jenny Scheinman), and drummer/percussionist Billy Martin (Medeski Martin & Wood), Man With No Country is an auspicious gesture from young firebrand Clouser, during which he fearlessly engages his heroes head-on across a program of scorched-earth ballads and searing rock songs.

Intense
Huge landmark CD. Like a de Kooning painting on steroids. I would compare it to other musicians or music, but I can't. I think this CD stands alone. No boundaries, pure but certainly not simple. The Rhodes piano takes on a calm essence that evolves into a theme of amazing guitar chops, slices, tears punctuated by an unreal pallet of instruments and musicianship; carrying me through every emotion with lyrics and vocals that paint vivid realities. Few are brave enough to explore at this intensity.Perfection.
