If memory serves, I heard "Wide World" on the radio once or twice ... but when I saw the video for "Slow Train" on MuchMusic, that was it. The video wasn't really that good, but the song was. Who were these guys? What was it about this song with the strange riff and the moody vibe that was so infectious? The album was produced by Tom Treumuth, who was also A&R for RCA and was instrumental in signing The Breit Brothers, and by all accounts Bob Buziak, the president of RCA, was behind the band as well. I know that's an assumption on my part, but he is given a special thank you on the back cover. To top it off, the album was mastered by Bob Ludwig, which usually gives an album a little extra shine. The band was composed of three brothers: vocalist and keyboard player Gary, whose name I knew from Corey Hart; Kevin on guitar; Garth on drums; and Ian de Souza on bass. The album was full of finely crafted pop songs, and it's still a bit of a mystery wrapped...
A place where I blather on about music, vinyl, memories, nostalgia, things I miss, things I'm excited about, or stuff I just found and want to share. I could also be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally don't know what I'm talking about, but sometimes I do. This is mostly a stream-of-consciousness brain dump, a reaction video without the images. Mostly, I'm just rambling. It's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget #oldenoughtoforget
