The stereo Hi-Fi version MP3s sound much better than the grainy mono lo-fi ones *** "Tailgate Troubadour" is a timeless, guitar driven Americana road trip with Greg V's Telecasters, Gretsches, Dobro, Lap Steel, Baritone, Mando-guitar and glowing vintage amps as your passengers. A powerful 12 song, 56 minute sonic ride...
His music is not about "guitars gone wild" and yet "Tailgate Troubadour" has plenty of unexpected twists, wicked guitar tones, moaning lap-steel and smokin' Fender amplifiers ready to explode. It is all about rootsy, vibey organic Americana soundscapes, with nothing being wasted. Serving the song, every greasy texture, emotional layer and guitar string bend has the full commitment of Greg V's flesh and soul. All 12 tunes feature the incredibly artful playing of Lucinda William's drummer Jim Christie and Jackson Browne's bassist Kevin McCormick. Beautifully mixed by Jackson Browne's guitarist Mark Goldenberg and mastered by "O Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack Grammy winner Gavin Lurssen at The Mastering Lab.
Years of recording sessions, touring and playing with a diverse range of established artists is reflected in "Tailgate Troubadour" a soulful brew of Greg V's heart and guitars melting into burnin' tube amps.
