Ruzz Guitar’s Blues Revue – The Instrumental Sounds Of…
Format: CD
Label: RG Records
Release: 2020
Release date: December 6th 2020
‘The Instrumental Sounds Of…’ is a collection of musical styles, based within the Blues, that have influenced Ruzz throughout his career. After COVID-19 hit at the start of 2020, and all live work stopped and studios closed, Ruzz and sax player Michael Gavaghan decided to put this down time to good use and learn to record and mix & master from home so that the supporters of “Ruzz Guitar’s Blues Revue” still had new content coming their way to keep them entertained during these difficult times.
This album was recorded in isolation with musicians from both the UK and the USA, and is the product of 5 months learning from scratch, adapting with minimal gear and taking on a new challenge to self-produce an entire album’s worth of new, original Instrumental material.
This album features tunes in the styles of Blues, Surf, Swing, Rockabilly to name a few…
