Since we last heard from Paul McClure, he's tightened up his sound and direction and switched labels to It's Time Records.
Not only is No More No More, Paul's debut for It's Time Records, it's also the record label's debut, a responsibility indeed.
Roots rock with songwriter sensibilities is where Paul seems to ave focused his considerable talent. Despite only being three tracks long, No More No More, feels bigger than that. And, despite being only those three tracks I think the track order is wrong. I think Free 2 B the second track on the disk makes a better more direct single.
That in no way detracts from the choice for lead track, it's a stronger track, just less of a single. I think the tracks hold together better in that order. It's not something I say lightly, but one of the joys of modern technology is that you get to play things in the order of your choice. And I admit, had this been vinyl, I wouldn't have got up to the record player to even try.  
Paul McClure remains fresh, vibrant and bounds with enthusiasm for his craft..
