Rick Spreitzer - From The Bottom

I'll tell you what you don't get with Rick Spreitzer, you don't get anything that doesn't serve the song, you don't get things that haven't been thought through, you don't get words that you'd be embarrassed reading as prose or poetry.

What you do get with From The Bottom is a tightly knit, carefully constructed set of songs, each one built with care, like dolls houses that are perfect replicas of the real thing, everything is done with attention to detail, situations and feelings are recreated, everything is anchored, everything covered with realism, so songs like ‘Back to Blue' are flawlessly realised, each note placed with care, each element works perfectly on its own, the guitars gently support the vocals, the dots of organ adding punctuation, the vocals placing the words exactly in place, the chorus patiently placed, painstaking in the care lavished. They don't make records like this anymore ~ David Cowling Americana UK
