David Chalmers
Looking For Water
Very Rare original Private US LP released on River Records in 1977. 1st US pressing and comes with a signed insert for the 3rd album.
The first couple of times I heard it David Chalmers sophomore album "Looking for Water" struck me as a mild disappointment. Being a big fan of the debut LP I was expecting to hear another set of sensitive singer/songwriter material. With the exception of the closer 'You Can't Say No' the sounds totally different this time around. Whereas the debut album had a surprisingly cohesive feel, the sophomore set sounded like it was recorded in a rush by someone who had run out of time and ideas (it clocked in at under 30 minutes). The album also certainly lacked the cohesiveness of the debut. Whereas the first LP was largely original material, the sophomore set included a pair of covers (a needless take on Chuck Berry's 'Around and Around' and an equally forgettable cover of the rock chestnut 'Under the Boardwalk') and a pair of remakes from the debut ('Hotel Room II' and 'Houston'). Elsewhere, the aptly titled 'The Disco Song' found Chalmers taking a stab at a disco song ... bad decision even if it was meant to be tongue in cheek. Not to say the set was a complete wipeout. Having switched to up tempo material, Chalmers' guitar chops were more in evidence this time around (check out 'Hotel Room II'). The opener 'Since I've Been There' showcased Chalmers playing something far heavier than anything found on the debut. Chalmers low keyed vocals also remained a source of enjoyment.
