Perfect Alibi - The Observer

01 May 2000
The Observer

Claire Martin has long been one of Britain's finest voices and she lends her smoky tones to some classic songs on latest outing "Perfect Alibi"

The husky-voiced singer could tackle pretty much any song and make something of it but while "Perfect Alibi" may be eclectic the material is perfectly picked. Martin tackles How Can I Be Sure? with the confidence of Dusty, John Martyn joins her on Man In The Station, and Hendrix's Up From The Skies is a slinky blueswalk.

Other gems include the Stylistics' People Make The World Go Round, Donny Hathaway's More Than You'll Ever Know, and Laura Nyro's He's A Runner.
