Vangough's 2008 release Manikin Parade was a pleasure to listen to. The production is very solid, the musicianship is excellent and the songwriting is also excellent. The title track has great dynamics and feeling. Although I'm not a huge prog-rock guy, this is worthy of attention and listeners. I know from experience the bad rap many one or two man band's get, but my answer to these critics is always the same; can you do it? Most detractors of one man bands are people who cannot produce a competent album completely on their own, but that is not the case with Clay Withrow. A legitimate talent who's debut record should be on anyone's radar. Hopefully he is also a good and nice human being. 4/5
