Cry Wolf, the first Bruce Reynolds Rock Trio CD recorded in January 2009 in Basel. The CD was recorded in front of a few invited friends at Dex's studio/ club, Wettsteinallee Culture Centre.
We had a great time doing the recording and we owe a big thanks to the amazing Dex whose energy and professional approach made it all happen smoothly.
The best review I have heard so far is that it sounds like Cream. Thanks, Andy Brühlman, rock aficionado supreme, for the extremely kind words. Getting anywhere close to the excellence of Cream is something every 3 piece aspires to.
We avoided the temptation of overdubbing in the studio and went for the live, raw energy of the gig.
A couple of the tracks are from my solo CD, Dedication, but have been stripped down to a place where a three piece can handle them. "The Source" has taken on a new life on the live CD, almost a surf feel to what is a very Arabic sensation on "Dedication"
I particularly love doing this. Songs and recordings take on a new life when reduced to the minimum. As a lot of what we do on stage is improvised it makes it exciting for us and our fans to see a new approach to tunes they already know.
If you want the same as the CD, stay at home and have a beer and listen to it loud on the stereo. If you want to hear something breathing and developing, come and see us live.
Bruce, June 2009
