Randy Lee Riviere’s new album, Blues Sky, delivers muscular country rock with strong narrative. It’s a journey through some surprising emotional territory, with Riviere’s vocals and guitar leading the way with a gritty edge. Or is it edgy grit? Whatever it is, it is instantly atmospheric. Production values courtesy of Kevin McKendree are solid and innovative. The entire project is the result of a deep understanding of what is capable in a recording studio. Technique has met imagination.

Musicians – Kenneth Belvins (drums), David Santos (bass), Ann, Regina & Freda McCrary (vocals).
