Hello Out there CDG Fans! Just yesterday I got the first copies of the new CD ‘Lucky 13’. The title coming from the collision of events; the new music is the 13th offering from CDG and we recorded the music in Las Vegas. Of course I’ve mentioned that in previous posts so let me proceed to give a bit of insight into this new offering. This is by far the longest one disc musical project I’ve done that’s been brought to the masses out there. The ‘Live’ cd had more but it was a 2-cd package. So with this current new cd clocking in a just above 70 some odd minutes it’s a bit of a mini-marathon to listen to. Personally I’m not a big fan of lengthy opuses from the modern era, I think that’s largely due to the fact that I’m a bit antiquated in my own desires and coming from the generation where album sides were rarely more than 23 minutes,(often much less cuz’ I’ve got many LPs that are less than 36 minutes in their entirety), it seems it solidified my internal clock for listening and I was always ready for a pause in the music and then had to get up to turn the record over, if you chose to listen to the other side. I can remember some records in my collection hardly being played on one side or the other. All the ‘faves’ seemed to be on one side and it was only in my early years of what I can only describe as ‘premature mawkishness’ that I would flip the record over and listen to its other songs. As if I was reminiscing upon my limited memories up to that point in my short life. Too funny. Anyway, as mentioned before, lengthy and with 14 songs I will give a short synopsis of each. 1. You Know You’re Wrong – A sort of Hendrix-like romp I was playing with before we made the trek out to Sin City. It’s about the accusatory barbs we throw at each other in relationships in our moments of frustration. Most of the time we don’t mean it but comes out as if we’re grabbing into our argument grab-bag for the blunt cudgel. The music was laid down and we ended up keeping the original live track because it just had the ‘vibe’ to it.
