Oddjob - Clint (ACT, 2010) ***a1/2

April 16, 2011

By Joe Higham I should say that even though I only rated this album with three and a half stars I have no hesitation in recommending it. Unfortunately on a blog like this we receive so much cutting edge and boundary pushing music that a band like Oddjob is a little out of place, but maybe ...
