Could Be Love
Mostly Folk-Rock, this CD has some of the best tunes, as they had piled up for awhile. Featuring Eric Randall on Bass, and Annie N. Grilli on harmonies, it was also a good band. There’s enough variety that some informal test marketing turned up completely contradictory results: every song had some fans, only Track #9 was on everyone’s list.
One Of These Days
Folk-Rock with edges. It contains some of the better lyrics and stand-out harp solos; a strange fiddle through slow wah-wah in “Maybe Summer”; and plenty of experimentation on keyboards and bottleneck guitar. The songs get continually rotating attention. Although there is only one performer, there were several cooks in the studio, and they added.
Beach Rocks
All Instrumental and Digital, This is Ambient music and is played almost entirely on keyboards except for “Makaha Green”. It isn’t for Yoga-there’s a beat and a sense of humor-but it is calm. And it seems to travel well, having no language barrier. The tools for sound design offer endless fascination, and involve endless restraint.
Keep Going On
A return to Folk-Rock, but there’s likely something here you haven’t heard before, including harp and fiddle duets, and some subtle keyboard sounds. This CD contains more fiddle than the others-the recording coincided with some time (and study) in Texas-along with the reliable harp, keyboard and bottleneck guitar interaction. The rhythm section also gets a little more love.
Make Up Your Mind
Another Digital CD, mostly played on keyboards and a ’71 Gibson SG run through everything. There are 5 Vocals out of 12 songs, and most of those 5 are largely instrumental as well. In spite of the Covid, this took forever. It simply wasn’t allowing any rush, and there was an urge to try things. As it is new, time will determine who likes what.
(Get The Hate Out) Of Your Heart
This Single is a remastered version of “Out Of Your Heart”. Better Bass, among other things
