One Thru Fourteen
One Thru Fourteenis Vance Gilbert's crowning achievement, the fully-realized culmination of 12 years road experience, 4 acclaimed albums, and a most joyous and productive ''stretching-out'' in the studio.One Thru Fourteensucceeds at being stylistically diversified yet totally focused. Consider the full-tilt pop ofWaiting For Gilligan, the country-soul caress ofSon Of Someone's Son, and the Gipsy Kings-like intensity ofWhy Are We So Cruel?. The straight-up blues vibe ofHard To Love, the splashy 60's romp ofDon't Leave A Trace, even a dead-on nod to Billie Holiday in the fully orchestratedI'll Cry Tooare captured on this disc. The acoustic standardsHighriseandEliza Janeround out this partial list, all glowing examples of the varied ear candy presented on this all original, self-produced tour-de-force.One Thru Fourteenis Vance Gilbert at his most fearless, timeless, compelling best. These examples of classic songwriting, presented with deep humanism and bravery, stunning artistry and soul, and unbridled joy are inarguably the blue ribbons that tie and seal the seemingly impossibly package that is...Vance Gilbert.
