| For the last few months that larger than usual duo, Rick and the Goose have been in the studio recording their debut album for Big Rock, "Valley Of The Blues".Featuring Rick Veneer on vocals, acoustic guitar, slide guitar, kick box and harmonica and Australia's best known blues/rock drummer, Barry "Little Goose" Harvey on double bass, bass drum and hi hat, Rick and the Goose are attracting blues fans curious to see how they manage to make so much sound for only two players. They are totally organic - there are no drum machines, computers or sequencers involved here. | Having studied the double bass at Berklee Music College in the U.S., Barry finds it hard to leave the drums behind and uses both arms and legs in his role as one man rhythm section. Their blend of fine blues and jazz is augmented by some great originals, such as the popular title track, which takes an affectionate look at Brisbane's famous Fortitude Valley. Rick and the Goose have discovered a new blend of free form jazz and raw blues, as if Muddy Waters had teamed up with Duke Ellington's rhythm section! Order their great new album now out on Big Rock. |
Whether they are belting it
out in The
Vigilantes or pumping the
grooves as Rick
and the Goose, the boys are
enjoying themselves immensely and their enthusiasm is infectious.
