The review of "Catch The Morning Sun" has to begin with the opener, "There Will Be A Day," because Nicole Verhouden sings, and it's easy to be captivated by her voice. She's initially in the spotlight, but on a second listen, the interplay between the acoustic six-string and the slided electric guitar becomes apparent. Furthermore, the solo incorporates Southern influences. The singer's authentic voice is also reflected in the backing vocals. The first three and a half minutes showcase the newfound brilliance of the John F. Klaver Band. And that's not all; there are six more tracks to go. The master guitarist himself sings the title track, "Catch The Morning Sun." Inviting, powerful riffs accompany us all the way to the end of the song, and, of course, he demonstrates his skill on the six strings of his instrument. His vocals are far from being whiny.
The quality of his singing is anything but whiny. The album is further proof that for this artist, who also plays with Phil Bee's Freedom, stagnation is a foreign concept. "Funny Way Of Showing It"—again featuring Nicole Verouden on vocals—oscillates between fusion, blues, and funk, culminating in an infectiously seductive chorus. Fantastic! The two cover songs contain a strong original element, and "Gonna Move" deserves special mention in this regard.
"Learned A Lot" is a slow blues number, and here Nicole Verouden's voice truly blossoms. Beautiful! John F. Klaver evolves throughout this song from a gentle guitarist to a psychedelic agitator with a hard-hitting bass line. "Learned A Lot" is a highlight, followed by "Rollin' Away," where you can perfectly drift along on the waves of blues rock with a few skillful maneuvers.
