…Dave's new 2013 release "A Thousand Horses" is an exciting CD! With a mixture of Blues, Ballads and Freeform instrumentals, this CD will not disappoint! Dave has truly taken his gifts of songwriting and smoking guitar licks to a whole new level. As Dave says "This is music that moves you, music that heals you, music that is meant to be"…
A paragon of the cool jazz sound, Montgomery and his smooth lyricism are perfect for romantic themes: the result is meltingly beautiful.
Continuing a regular album release schedule over the previous 15 years and reliable quality since the duo's debut over 25 years prior, Let's Hear It for the Dogs delivers more of Craig and Charlie Reid's jaunty '50s and '60s R&B-, soul-, and country-influenced pop with 13 original songs and, this time, no covers. Production and arrangements relying heavily on electric guitars and drums add strings to a couple of tracks, including the epic love story "Tuesday Afternoon," and horns to the spirited "Then Again." The album includes expected musical homages, such as the peppy, Dion-esque "You Built Me Up," and later the rockabilly-informed "Then Again" and doo wop-inspired "Forever Young."
