Nuevo trabajo de Carl Verheyen.

Pues eso, que Carl anuncia nuevo disco en vinilo, CD y digital.

Reseña del propio Carl.

The brand new and long-awaited album Riverboat Sky will be released this summer in CD, vinyl and digital download formats. Pre-orders begin July 7 with shipping starting immediately. The rollout will continue all summer with a record store date of August 25.

About the new album, Carl says, “Supertramp leader Rick Davies always lamented how it’s a shame that the album was a demo for the tour.  I agree, we’d spend  3 or 4 months making a ‘Tramp album, but on the subsequent tour the music would develop way beyond the record as the arrangements lived and breathed every night. The music on Riverboat Sky was played for a year and a half before we committed the songs to posterity.  And by reversing the record / tour process we were able to find the definitive arrangements and grooves for each song that no amount of rehearsing can achieve."

Carl’s touring band of John Mader, Dave Marotta and Troy Dexter was supplemented this time with Jim Cox on keys, Chad Wackerman on drums and Alex Acuna on percussion. The title track is a duet that Carl sings with Sophia James (who you may remember from American Idol). The entire album was tracked and mixed on Danley Sound Labs studio monitors at Village Recorders and Sunset Sound, two of LA’s most iconic “Temples of Tone.”

Gracias, Emiliano.
Tiene muy buena pinta. Y esa cubierta con imagen icónica del Mississipi entre tinieblas de un barco de fondo plano, a vapor, me retrotraen a Twain, a las balas de algodón, a los fulleros yankis del poker de río, a Magnolia, a La canción del sur y a Carl Barks y su The Great Steamboat Race.

A mí me parece que Rick no le dio suficiente "recorrido" en Supertramp. Es muy bueno.




 

Supongo que a Rick la música em solitario de Verheyen le gustará mucho, además. Ese blues es lo que le mola. 

De todas formas, siempre me ha parecido que tenía poco protagonismo en vivo. Cosas de Rick, supongo. 

Gracias por el enlace. Personalmente, la canción que más me gusta del disco Riverboat Sky, es Jamaica Say You Will. Tiene algunos juegos musicales que me recuerdan a algunos trabajos de Steely Dan. Pero la melodía es muy bonita.
