The Chris Lord Ideal is the band to be on the lookout for in your town this year. Heavy, hard hitting, smooth and seductive are phrases that could be used to describe their album Sunday in New York.
Released in 2002 and recorded live off the floor at Cherry Beach Sound in Toronto, this CD has all the elements of a desert island pick. The title track is a generously moving song that conjures up many images and feelings, such as lost loves, freedom, and new beginnings. Love Hotel, the 3rd track is a great dirty blues song with guitar licks that would make you sweat. If that’s not enough, Mississippi Mushroom Trip is another song with heavy guitar and lyrics that push boundaries and buttons. Not for the weak at heart.
All of the songs on Sunday in New York will move you in every way possible. From the sexual connotations in Chris Lord’s vocals and lyrics to the masterful drum beats provided by Scotty K. Rhythm guitar and backing vocals are from Walter Luck, Bass and backup vocals provided by Gord x.
Chris Lord Ideal has a new album in the works as well, called Seven Dwarfs. I am anticipating the new CD will be quite a trip!
Look for Chris Lord Ideal in your local listings and check these guys out. I can assure that you won’t regret it.
