Justly revered for his muscular drumming with Free and Bad Company, Simon Kirke has always shown a softer side when he makes his sporadic visits to the solo album. His third does include a version of Bad Company’s ''Feel Like Making Love'', but it’s far more considered than the show-stopping original. The orchestrated country folk of ''Maria'' and the romantic ''Melting On Madison'' suggest someone who is happy with his lot. The delicately ''Wind And The Rain'' is effective enough, so don’t go looking for stadium rock here because you won’t find it. Simon Kirke enters confessional territory on the therapeutic ''Into The Light'' and ''Trouble Road'', the most drum heavy moments here, but he’s soon back consorting with nature on ''Friends In The Woods'', a song about a hedgehog and a mole. A relaxed and breezy solo album but not in a lazy sense. ''All Because Of You'' and ''Warm Gulf Waters'' just set the tone for the whole album. ''Feel Like Making Love'' is excellent, a complete remake of the original with ukulele. ''Maria'' and ''Friends In The Woods'' are more highlights. Simon Kirke sounds in great voice, happy and in love on this record and it makes for a great listen. Simon Kirke may be an Englishman in New York these days but the old roots still exert a hold.

Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke has always written from the heart. Songs for his debut solo album, 2011's Filling The Void, drew on a variety of themes, including dealing with addiction and his experience working as a volunteer driver for the Red Cross following September 11. The songs for that album had been “percolating for years,” and he found it a cathartic experience to finally share them with an audience. He’s continued to write since then and found himself working with new subjects of inspiration for ALL BECAUSE OF YOU, his new solo album. Simon Kirke teamed up with The Empty Pockets, a band from the Chicago area that he was introduced to by his manager, David Spero. He went to Chicago to work with the group in its studio and knocked out the initial tracking for the album in seven days. While working on the album, Kirke discovered that the members of the band were well-equipped to bring any of the musical visions that he had to life - even if it involved calling in a few extra reinforcements. Warren Haynes adds guitar to the song “Trouble Road'', a collaboration that developed after Simon Kirke saw The Allman Brothers play their final show at the Beacon Theatre, where he was “knocked sideways” by the talents of Haynes and fellow guitarist Derek Trucks. One of the first songs that Kirke and The Empty Pockets recorded for the album happened to be one that he had a lot of history with - a ukulele-driven take on the Bad Company classic “Feel Like Making Love”. You probably wouldn't expect much from a drummer. But Simon Kirke is not just any drummer, from the power behind blues based band Free to stadium rock band Bad Company with band mate Paul Rodgers (check out also Kossoff Kirk Tetsu And Rabbit album) to his session work and now his solo albums. The tracks on his latest CD are worthy of a film score let's hope you won't be disappointed.
