Gary Gates: Home
"Gary Gates Band Acoustic Live At The San Gregorio Store" by Gary Gates is a live acoustic country folk rock album with no shortage of personality. The addition of mandolin mixed with the laid back arrangements really gives an island feel that makes for an almost hypnotic quality. Gary and his friends deliver well-harmonized vocals with a sense of being in the moment. Being a live recording, the quality is surprisingly good; simply by listening, you feel as though you are in the room with these guys. Even the sound of bottles clanking together is crisp. Highlights include "All Around This World,” which will lull you with its nice layers and quirky vocals. Their covers of "No Woman No Cry" and “Friend of the Devil” are great takes on classics. "Heart River" has an attention-grabbing intro and a nice mandolin line throughout. Fans of heart-felt acoutic/folk tunes with vibrant personality will enjoy this collection. William @ RadioInde.com
"Self released, simple, cozy. There's nothing to prove here, just a few old friends having a go at the local general store. I can name several friends of my friend's parents who'd love to have this sort of thing in their lives." John Shelton Ivany Top 21
The cd is now available on CD Baby !!!
