Joey Wright - Jalopy - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2017 from the Canadian singer/songwriter. Country, Music is a musical meeting of the minds of some of folk and pop's most respected musicians. In the fall of 2016, Joey was invited by his country neighbor and friend, Jonas Bonetta (Evening Hymns) to come to his studio Port William Sound in Mountain Grove, Ontario, to start recording some of Joey's new music and songs in progress. These early sessions ended up becoming the bedrock of what is now the compelling and sonically rich album, Country, Music. Along with the recording prowess and musical contribution of Jonas, Joey also reached out to many of his musical contemporaries and friends to add to the magic that is this collection of songs Amy Millan and Jenny Whiteley both sing on the record, Evan Cranley and Pat McGee of the band Stars are the central rhythm section, joined on several tracks by the horn section from Inchthe Montreal sessionsInch Evan Cranley, Chris Seligman and R.J. Frizzell. Bringing yet more beauty and inspiration to the album, Joey is joined by steel guitar bosses Christine Bougie and Burke Carroll. Rounding out the impressive cast of characters are Julien Brown (bass), Mike Brushey (drums) and Aaron Comeau (piano, organ, bass). To tie the entire gleaming package with a bow, Joey enlisted Daniel Ledwell (Jenn Grant, Justin Rutledge) to mix Country, Music at his Echo Lake studio.

I am happy these rare 3 recordings have finally seen the light of day. This group was a transition for Keith, and myself that eventually got us back to Emerson, Lake & Palmer. We had formed 3Inch with Robert Berry, at the suggestion of Geffen Records and I think we made some pretty innovative music. This live concert proves the energy behind our music was very much alive and it still sounds relevant today. Some might say this was a left turn in our musical journey; but, in the end, the scenery was still enjoyable.Inch Carl Palmer, September 2017 How many times in a lifetime do you get a chance to realize your wildest dreams? For Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer that dream was realized many times. Both Keith and Carl wanted to get back to their roots and tour smaller venues, as Carl had said, InchI can connect with more people in a 2500 seat club than I can in an arena. You only see the first 10 rows in an arena.Inch For me, the tour was a continuation of that dream. I remember our show at the Ritz quite vividly; we had played many venues where the ELP fans were checking out their hero's and of course 'the new guy'. But the Ritz was different. Half the audience was the die-hard ELP fan wanting to hear their favorites. The other half was new fans that had heard Talkin' Bout' on the radio and there to see this new hit band. The audience ranged from 16 to 60 years old, it was definitely energizing, and the power of Inch3Inch was in full force. I believe you can feel it when you listen to the energy in this great live recording from The Ritz in New York City. We were a true rock and roll band playing our hearts out, hitting it hard and heavy. As Keith told me about a month after our InchLive Boston '88Inch, came out a few years ago InchRobert I just listened to the new live and... we were really a good band. Played our hearts out we didInch. That phone call will be one of m

Hatch is the latest from Canada's Joey Wright. Like his previous two albums, InchHatchInch features outstanding instrumentals and inspired arrangements. Unlike his other work, however, InchHatchInch features eight new songs by Wright. Joey has been co-writing songs for years now with his partner Jenny Whiteley, but this is the first time we hear him handling the vocals on his own compositions. The songs on InchHatchInch are lyrically dreamy and poetic, and melodically inventive and catchy. For the recording of InchHatchInch, Joey assembled a cast of first rate musicians from many walks of music. Covering the rhythm section, is Evan Cranley and Pat McGee of the pop band Stars. Handling the string bass and violin string section is Joe Phillips (Sarah Slean, London Symphony) and John Showman (the Creaking Tree String Quartet, The Foggy Hogtown Boys). The backup vocals are beautifully sung by Sarah Harmer, Jenny Whiteley and Stars'' Amy Millan, while there are special appearances by Christine Bougie and Dan Whiteley. The record was made at Ottawa's InchLittle Bullhorn StudioInch, and recorded to 2' tape by Dave Draves (Jim Bryson, Kathleen Edwards, Gentleman Reg). Parallels are being drawn between InchHatchInch and some of Beck's work, as well as Elliott Smith had he cut his teeth on bluegrass and sixties psychedelic rock. Joey is known for his lyrical and inspired guitar and mandolin playing. He is versed in many styles such as bluegrass, blues, swing, pop and country. He is also known for his unique compositions. Joey is a sought after collaborator as much for his positive and inspirational attitude as for his musical vision and talent. His first solo CD, InchCampInch, has received rave reviews from such magazines as Penguin Eggs and Bluegrass North, and has earned him a new legion of fans. His original material appeals to fans of new acoustic music, bluegrass and pop
