3 stars With the relative success of "HQ" and an equally celebrity infused guest list, HARPER resumed his urban Canterbury fancies on "Bull-in-a-Ming-Vase", which exists mostly as a modest buildup to the "One of those Days in England" suite. That leviathan includes some of his best Floydian call outs, but I am even more taken with "Watford Gap", his rare slice of country rock meets fish and chips style. It's all solid folk rock otherwise, with the possible exception of "Cherishing the Lonesome" marred as it is by Harper's failed vocal acrobatics which perhaps gave rise to the album title. While attaining neither the excitement nor the aggression level of its predecessor, it's still a bull by the horns effort around the 3.2 star level.
