Boyd Bristow - Spearfish, South Dakota

Cloudless Sky After a wait that could be best termed "a while," Boyd Bristow has made his first solo recording on Maxine/Audiophile. It is a celebratory collection of folk, R&B, country, gospel, and rock and roll. Featured are some of Boyd's best songs, along with excellent works from fellow South Dakotans Tom Peterson, Bruce Preheim and Dennis Westphal. Cloudless Sky was produced by master musician and recordist Chris Gage at MoonHouse Studio in Austin, Texas. Chris and Boyd go back "a long while." With the help of a cast of great players, and especially aided by the beautiful backing vocals of Christine Albert, they have created a deeply satisfying recording. Produced by Chris Gage. Recorded and mixed by Chris Gage at MoonHouse Studio; Austin, TX. Additional engineering by Christine Albert at MoonHouse Studio; Austin, TX. Mastered by Jim Wilson at YES Mastering; Austin, TX. Additional tracks recorded by Brian Bonde at Maxine Recordings; Sioux Falls, SD, and by Boyd Bristow at Image Up, Creative Services; Rapid City, SD.

On April 4, Saturday night at 8PM MOUNTAIN TIME (that's how it should be written, don't you think?) Matt Weesner is going to play not only some of my music from Cloudless Sky, but also some of the music that influenced me the most. Those who know me can pretty well guess what I picked, running towards The Band, Ry Cooder and Randy Newman. The name of Matt's show is "On Record" and it broadcasts on South Dakota Public Radio. Matt, who resides in Denver now, happens to be a gigger himself and is a great piano player. He has played a lot of us South Dakotans on his show, and all of us are grateful for that, Matt. Here is the link to the On Record page on the SDPB website: http://www.sdpb.org/radio/onrecord/index.asp You can find the archive of all of his past shows there, and of course they stream the show live. I aslo would like to mention that East of Westreville along with Kenny Putnam are playing at Riggs Auditorium (maybe the best sounding room in South Dakota) on April 11. It is purely coincidental, but it will be my 60th birthday that night, assuming my parents told me the truth. My wife Dar threw the greatest birthday party I've ever had for my 50th birthday, so I don't need anther one, ever. Going out and playing a gig with my friends is just right. Which reminds, me, I'd also like to say hi to Dale Fraser (a great bass player, among other things). Talk about influences. Also, please visit : The Comfort Theatre Company Top
