Allan Clarke is a British musician known as the lead singer and founding member of the legendary British pop band The Hollies.

The track "My Real Name Is 'Arold" is an album by Allan Clarke released in 1972.

The album was his first solo album after spending a long time with The Hollies.

★★★ -"My Real Name Is 'Arold"

- is a folk rock album that features a more acoustic sound, different from the typical pop sound that The Hollies were known for.

The album's title, "My Real Name Is 'Arold", refers to his nickname "H'arold", which is due to his British accent.

The album includes songs such as "Born to Run," "If I Were the Priest," and "Who's Gonna Tie My Shoes," which showcase Allan's storytelling ability and musical versatility. Although it was not as commercially successful as some of his work with The Hollies, "My Real Name Is 'Arold" was received positively by critics and has gained some appreciation in the folk rock scene.

Allan Clarke later returned to The Hollies and continued his successful music career.

However, "My Real Name Is 'Arold" remains an interesting chapter in his solo work and in the history of 1970s British music.
