Charlie Byrd - guitar, vocals; Joe Byrd - bass; Chuck Redd - drums. Recorded at Studio Murec, Milano.
Charlie has always liked to sing. That's one of the reasons he wanted to make this recording. He's only been featured singing once before on record - on one of his old Columbia albums. His singing voice is just as sweet and soft and tinged with his lovely Southern accent as his speaking voice. It's just right for such songs as Blue Skies and Gee Baby, Ain't I Cood To You?
The other thing that Charlie wants to do with this record is spotlight his regular trio. Charlie, his brother Joe, and drummer Chuck Redd have been working as a tight unit for 14 years...yet they haven't been recorded that much. Joe is an excellent bass player who also sings (though not on this recording) in a style that recalls Mose Allison. Chuck Redd is one of the most respected young drummers on the D.C. scene. He's got big ears - you often see him at the clubs, after he's finished playing his own gigs, checking out the other musicians. It's always a pleasure to hear the Charlie Byrd trio...and it's often a surprise. Even if you know his music well, you sometimes slip into making that instant connection: 'Charlie Byrd = Brazilian music.' It's a treat to hear... again...how much else he can do. ~Tom Cole
