Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

If you come across Ian McNabb at a gig or sitting in a pub somewhere in Liverpool over the next few months, politely shake him by the hand and tell him what a fantastic and expansive recording Eclectic Warrior is. You would be doing one of Liverpool’s finest sons a great honour because it is not just fantastic, this is Ian McNabb, the man who can sing Pink Floyd harmonies with random strangers and make the interloper sound polished and professional, at his very, very best. Part belligerent, confrontational, creatively fiery and impassioned in his lyrics, wonderfully passionate in his music and if Great Things in 2010 was a huge stepping stone, this sees Ian leaping gaping chasms in the music cause.
