Steve's Place

 I had heard some roughs of the recordings around a few of the songs on this release
and was very impressed by the combination of Greg Serrato's blistering guitar work, the
solid bass playing of BLX bassist Mark Fry and of course the talents of Bill Lordan
go without saying.  The finished product is far beyond that. This is a great cd.
Please don't hesitate to add this to your collection.

Last Time Around

Blues For Jimmy
Based around the familiar BOS riff but with some very tasty differences,
this song pays tribute to Jimmy Dewar and you will love this.

After hearing this great cd I asked Greg where he got his influences from while growing up :

 I loved the pure finesse of Buddy Holly & Freddie King and the complexity of Hendrix , Clapton , Santana & Stevie Ray Vaughan. Right after High School (1975) I was listening to Trower when Bill was playing with him.  I've tried to take all my influences and place them within my own playing. Zappa's playing on (the Apostrophe Album) and Jeff Beck's (Wired) were a big influence indeed; as you hear in BL's Groove. Very good ear you have!! In Blues For Jimmy, My Spirit Dances and Simple Life, I tried to incorporate the Trower vibe because of Bill's history with Trower. I tried to draw out the past from Bill's playing. I think his fans want to hear that. As we all do!!! Listen to "Simple Life" closely and you will hear Bill's signature licks from Trower's "Gonna Be More Suspicious."  Hendrix has alwas been my guitar hero. I saw him when I was eleven and that was the pinnacle of my musical career! He was amazing!!! Alvin Lee  was also one of my favs!
