Editor's review
What's more soothing to the ears than listening to masterful picking on stringed instruments like the acoustic bass and mandolin? Michael Grimes from Albuquerque, N. Mex., isn't satisfied with working in a single genre; instead, he combines Latin jazz rhythms with such disparate details as cocktail-ish guitar and, most surprisingly, mandolin--a sound that has long been familiar to fans of traditional American folk and bluegrass music. These intricate melodies are sure to awaken your spirit.
Biography
Michael Grimes's new album Behind the Goodwill is the perfect soundtrack to a dark and rainy day. Lowrider latin beats and sinister spy guitars cruise slowly by. Dark tangos hide out in the corner bars. The sound of gypsy rhythms and crimescene saxophones emerge from the darkness. Michael Grimes is a double bass player from Albuquerque NM, and performs with and writes songs for Torch Singer, Bernadette Seacrest. This collection of all original songs are on his debut ThrillBomb! Records (www.thrillbomb.com) release.
