Neil Fallon Picks Clutch Song He's Proudest of

"I knew it was going to be received either very positively or very negatively"

Neil Fallon has sang on 13 album's worth of Clutch songs, and that doesn't even include the music he's made in the three other acts he's done time in — the Company Band, the Bakerton Group and Dunsmuir. Suffice to say, the 51-year-old singer-guitarist has made a helluva a lot of tunes over the years, and in a recent interview with Loudwire, he was asked to pick the one Clutch song that he's most proud to have been a part of.

"Probably 'Big News I,'" he said of the opening track on Clutch's 1995 self-titled album. "Because I knew it was going to be received [either] very positively or very negatively. That's usually a good move, and that's exactly what happened.

"[At the time] our sound was very much more rooted in straight-ahead, unswung aggression, and 'Big News I" was a massive swing. And suddenly it became a lot easier to write lyrics."

Listen to "Big News I" below and then watch Fallon select 11 non-metal albums (blues, funk, modern classical, more) that he thinks every metalhead needs to know.
