Although she now calls Nashville home, Australian-born artist Imogen Clark has spent a lot of time outside Music City touring the East Coast with Robyn Hitchcock and headlining shows in England. Imogen’s new album Choking On Fuel contains acoustic versions of many of the superb songs she’s previously recorded with members of Elvis Costello’s band and other music legends.
Clark’s acoustic rendition of “The Art Of Getting Through” gets my vote for Americana Song of the Year. The track features a sensational harmonica part from Mickey Raphael, who’s usually busy backing Willie Nelson and Chris Stapleton.
“So many people have messaged me to say that they would love to have an album that captured the spirit of what I do live, and that’s what this is,” says Clark.
One spin of this album and you’ll see why reviewers often compare Clark to Lucy Dacus and Sheryl Crow. (In fact, the album contains a beautiful duet cover of Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy” featuring UK artist Kezia Gill.)
This new collection proves that Imogen Clark has the artistic fuel to be a star on three continents.
