Rae Gordon Band - Wrong Kind Of Love (2019) [CD Rip]

"Wrong Kind Of Love" was produced by Rae Gordon Band guitarist Kivett Bednar, and engineered and mixed by Jimi Bott at his studio Roseleaf Recording. (While the BMA-winning Jimi Bott is one of the blues world’s most revered drummers, he’s also a technically adept and remarkably intuitive recording engineer; among many other albums Jimi has recorded, Ben Rice’s “Wish The World Away” was nominated for a Blues Music Award.)

Six of the songs on “Wrong Kind Of Love" were written by Pat McDougall, keyboardist and musical director for the Rae Gordon Band, three were co-written by Rae and Pat, and one was written by Portland-based guitarist and songwriter Rod Furlott. The CD covers a wide gamut of styles, from lowdown barroom blues to dance-worthy funk, from heart-tugging soul ballad to slide-drenched rage rocker, from minor-key blues angst to uplifting soul anthem. The recording features the regular members of the 7-piece Rae Gordon Band: Rae on lead vocals, Kivett Bednar on guitar & vocals, Pat McDougall on keyboards & vocals, Ed Pierce on drums, Joseph Conrad on bass, Allan Kalik on trumpet & horn arrangements, and Scott Franklin on saxophone. We were fortunate enough to have Jimi Bott contribute supplemental percussion as well.
