Coming Around the Bend (Greg Reddicks)
One of Greg's original pieces that provides a solid
vocal and guitar tonal and rhythmic infrastructure
on which George takes off on some memorable vibraphone
solos.
-
Cowgirl in the Sand (Neil Young)
Greg and George have created a mysterious and provocative
arrangement that provides a fresh interpretation to
this classic. Greg's lyrical shifts in vocal timbre
are reflected back by George's eerie keyboard statements.
-
I Believe In You (George Green)
George started by writing a Tin Pan Alley-style, bluesy
torch song to which Greg added a jazzy punch in the
chorus. George creates a remarkable tenor sax break
that combines with Greg's soulful guitar.
-
Love Leaves the Blues (Greg Reddicks)
Greg wrote this excellent song and decided he wanted
to infuse it with a Jazz Fusion style. He and George
modified the basic chord structure with a series of
ninth chords. Inspired, they added increasingly more
complex chords until they had developed a whole new
sound that swings with a Latin folk fusion.
-
Etheria (George Green & Greg Reddicks)
Imagine light dancing off the shimmering surface of
a mountain stream framed by trees and sky. Greg's
guitar work directs the musical flow and challenges
their energy to find tonal redirection. Together with
George's lilting Lakota flute they weave abstract
melodies into a fabric as ancient as the mountains
and as fresh as the morning light. With identifiable
elements of folk, jazz, American Indian and New Age,
Etheria defies definition.
-
I'm Blue II (Greg Reddicks & George Green)
Greg and George have again created a musical synergy
of their two very different classic blues styles in
this blues ballad. Greg's 60's jazz blues fuses seamlessly
with George's 40's jazz blues in a showcase of both
their writing and performing talents. Incidentally
they wrote both of their respective contributions
to this song back in the 60's long before they met
each other.
-
Sunset Rider (George Green)
A casual comment by his cousin started George writing
this original and catchy piece that ultimately became
a tribute to Floyd Cramer. Greg sings the words that
present the cowboy philosophy against George's classic,
if somewhat frenetic, Cramer-style keyboarding. Kick
your shoes off and sit a spell for this one that you'll
be humming for days. And while you're at it, don't
mess with those problems you can't solve.
-
Too Many Questions (George Green)
This original jazz blues piece features a continuum
of instrumental and vocal interactions in classic
jazz blues style. Beyond the blues content of the
lyrics, Greg illustrates the lyric with moving musical
statements as doleful responses are passed between
George's vocal and Greg's guitar.
-
July (John Stewart)
Greg has performed this piece so often, people have
begun to assume he wrote it. For this song George
plays his Lakota flute as a magical framework for
Greg's vocal and upbeat 12-string guitar picking.
-
Where Do the Children Play? (Cat Stevens)
This unusual magical arrangement makes a driving and
sensual statement about the fleeting qualities of
life through a blend of carefully placed layers of
keyboard and guitar sound synthesis tied together
with Greg's vocal. Greg and George's interpretation
itself is a playful instrumental interchange that
provides part of the answer to the question in the
song's title.
-
River (Greg Reddicks & George Green)
This completely unique and original piece was created
as Greg and George's first compositional collaboration
(hence, the name, River). This energetic piece is
a true product of systematically developed folk-jazz
fusion with a wonderfully complex rhythm maintained
by Greg's guitar work and powerful vocal. George provides
a musical foundation with violins, a pulsing bass
drum and a surprising french horn.
