DESCRIPTION:
Deni Bonet and Bill Clift in an acoustic performance during Bill's guest appearance on Deni's TV show, "DUETS WITH DENI". This version is directly from the show archives.

The sheer quality of Bill Clift's work is evident as soon as you hear him - this is, after all, a man whose voice can be heard behind artists as diverse as David Bowie, Robert Plant and Kylie Minogue, and whose writing credits range from the mainstream - the infamous PWL hit factory, commercials, TV and film music (including the 'Sister Act' soundtrack) - to the experimental: try dropping names like Yellow Note, Happyhead and 7Kings at the next exhibition opening you go to.

Following an extended period on the US session scene, including a five-month tour with long-term associate Jack Hughes' Wang Chung, Bill decided to reign in his eclecticism and focus on his own work. The result is his latest album, a collection that ranges from the pop exuberance of 'I Got Love' through the trippy obsession of 'Austin' to the intimacy of 'Sweet Release'. The writing is confident and powerful, always involving, never slick or self-indulgent. The musical support is always impeccable, the empathic live rhythm section entwined with sparking guitars, harmonica, subtle keyboards and some elegant strings and brass.
