Specialized AOR / Westcoast Japanese record label P-Vine just released “How Fragile We Are” via his Light Mellow Searches imprint. The record features new songs from the talented guitarist / songwriter BRUCE GAITSCH who has worked with Richard Marx, Chicago, Peter Cetera, Bill Champlin, Jim Peterik, King of Hearts, and countless more. Additionally, there’s hard to find standalone singles and collaboration with others.
Among the impressive musicians performing lead vocals we find Richard Marx, Fee Waybill, Bill Champlin, Marc Jordan, Michael Sembello and more, plus incredible musicians like George Hawkins Jr. , John Patitucci, CJ Vanston, Billy Ward, etc.
While strongly tied to the industry to help other artists, this has not stopped Gaitsch from recording his own material. He has released several albums including collaborations with rock guitarist Tommy Denander and pianist Janey Clewer in more recent years.
Currently working with stupendous band GIG whom delivered two very good albums recently, the songs on “How Fragile We Are” are probably some of the most honest recordings heard in years. This is a musician making the music he loves, he feels, and that’s permeates through your stereo.
Connoisseurs of the genre will recognize some tracks here, others were quite rare singles, others are completely new songs recorded for this release. Either way, “How Fragile We Are” is elegant, sophisticated timeless music.
Highly Recommended
