Acoustic, Bloozy, Folk and Roll punctuated with jazz chops and horn. Trio Has Something Special "Every once in a while, amidst the hundreds of albums released every month, one makes you stop, cock your head to one side and go, "Wow, that's a different sound!" It's very accessible and the singer has something to say, but the addition of that trumpet sets it apart…in a good way.” By This 2007 release marked the beginning of Gil’s partnership with horn player Cliff Jetton and their fresh acoustic sound. The CD features six original tunes written or co-written by Reynolds and a memorable cover of Delbert McClinton’s “I Want To Love You.” The sparse arrangements really allow the honesty of these tunes to sparkle in this stellar work. “Fly Away” Reynolds/Caldwell “What Kind of Love is This” Reynolds/Winn “Sparrow” Reynolds “Anymore” Reynolds “Popcorn Blues” Reynolds “I Want to Love You” McClinton “I Can’t Remember” Reynolds Gil Reynolds (vocals, acoustic guitar) George Edmonston Jr. (Fender bass) Cliff Jetton (trumpet, flugelhorn) The Tripps (backup vocals) John Reynolds (percussion) Special Guest - Jeff Davis (congas) "Many bands find me on My Space. Often I listen but rarely do I react. This was one of those instances where the songs, voice, and instrumental chops transcended the 'space.' The Gil Reynolds Trio have produced a most impressive little disc, highlighted by the bittersweet ballad, "Sparrow," a mature composition that hearkens the John Barleycorn era of Traffic. Equally notable are the playful, sarcastic boogie-woogie of "Popcorn Blues," and "What Kind of Love Is This?" The sass is definitely in the brass." --Lonn Friend (Author of "Life On Planet Rock" and the editor of RIP Magazine from 1987 – 1994)
