Old Man

From Blowitoutahere: You know, I used to think that being old Was like the end of the world I dreaded it, man But you know what, I'm there now And I realize things are different I don't really give a damn about what people think and it's been a long time coming Aging is liberating, man Yeh -Lyrics from Old Man That just about sums it up. But this CD is not only about words, the music is very, very strong. And, believe it or not, fresh. Gery Tinkelenberg has an interesting way of playing his guitar, incorporating looping with interesting genre bending notes that really can't be termed conventional. His songs are compact and direct, anchored by a jazz oriented bassist and drummer. But jazz in this context doesn't mean restrained or polite. They are tough, passionate, and provide a very moving foundation. It's obvious that they've grasped what rock is about and are reveling in that. Add to the sparkling musicianship a very unique vocal style that is Gery's very own. It's real and it's his, presented with no doubt. This music is different and will make a difference. Seriously.
