Prime Cuts - Robert Berry

Prime Cuts - Robert Berry CD

A Selection of Roberts Finest Work for Magna Carta Featuring Performances by: Stu Hamm, Steve Howe, Mike Mangini, Vinnie Moore, Michael Mullen, Simon Phillips, Jordan Rudess, Lief Sorbye and Mark Woods. Includes an exclusive track, Roberts version of Ambrosias Life Beyond LA. This CD is enhanced with bonus video "In The Studio With Robert Berry". Prime Cuts opens with a rousing version of "Roundabout" from Tales From Yesterday. The alternate ending, acoustic guitar duet, courtesy of no less than Steve Howe and Robert, takes us to the final resolution. From To Cry You a Song, comes "Minstrel In The Gallery", a tribute to Jethro Tull. The medieval mandolin salutation yields quickly to a strolling vamp with requisite Barre-ish fuzz block-chording and Barlow style floor tom ridingalong with Lief Sorbye on bodhran, the indigenous frame drum. In "Brain Damage" (The Moon Revisited), Berry adjusts his vocal intonation ever-so-slightly to emulate wispy, Pink Floyd style vocals. Next its "Watcher of the Skies" updated Pro Tools mix from Robert Berry and Hush: Suppers Ready, a tribute to Genesis golden era. Instead of duplicating Phil Collins unison (left hand/right hand) drum part, Berry transfers it over to acoustic guitar and establishes a more folkloric vibe. From Subdivisions, a tribute to Rush, springs "Different Strings". Interesting how Berrys tenor vocal, although contrasting with Geddys upper octave delivery, delivers the message so palatably! An ELP classic gets Berrys even-handed treatment. In "Karn Evil 9 1st Impressions", from Encores, Legends & Paradox, Berry gains the expert assistance of Jordan Rudess, Mark Wood (violin), and Simon Phillips. "A Theme For The Wheel Of Time" and "Winespring Reel" are both culled from Berrys album, Soundtrack For The Wheel Of Time, referring to the famous Robert Jordan fantasy novels. Both tunes obtain a Celtic edge, half Strawbs and half Fairport Convention. For a cynical commentary on life in The Valley, turn to "Life Beyond L.A.". This newly recorded and never-before-released track was included as homage to Berrys recent spot as lead vocalist and guitar player in Ambrosia The inclusion of this Yes-inspired track, "Carol of the Bells", off The December Peoples Sounds Like Christmas, demonstrates the breadth of Robert Berrys vision as a producer.Additional Info: Personnel: Chris Blackwell (guitar); Wayne Viar (keyboards, drums); Joseph Patrick Moore (keyboards, loops).
