T-Ride

Knock at the backdoor......Come in, quietly though....I mean that's why you chose the backdoor isn't it? There aren't a lot of people here, because T Ride didn't really make it huge. I mean they had an album, but they sort of faded into obscurity. Sad really, because I loved that album. It sort of reminded me of the vocal harmonies and complex tune-smithing found on a Queen album, but with a thoroughly full on rock guitarst.

Jeff Tyson is really a guitar players guitar player. The man weaves rhythm tracks that are outstanding, complex, but still hummable. The glide around the chordings of a tune, weaving subtle insinuations of lead licks here and there, without ever really breaking into a huge rocking solo. Understated would be a good word. He never sounds like he's struggling to reach that high note. He never sounds like he's stretched. But man can that boy play.

Kick back, turn it on.....get the album going, lets listen to a few T-Ride tunes! Gotta love that
"Back - a - the - door" off kilter triplet into a 2 beat of the 4/4 at the end of Backdoor Romeo.
