Review of "Heavy Humidity"

pix


@ iTunes
By: Chris Long

letter efore relocating to the Sarasota area a while back, Chris Hattingh was what I would call a real "mover and shaker" on Brevard's original music scene. He owned and operated TGIF Studios in Cocoa, and for years he was personally responsible for turning me on to many of the CDs that I reviewed in this column. One of the best was his own instrumental guitar "shredder" record back in 2002. Until lately, however, I hadn't heard too much from Chris, but he's back now (so to speak) with a brand new record.

"Heavy Humidity" captures the essence of life in Florida. From reggae inspired tunes like "Livin' It Up" to the more laid back beach vibe of "Siesta Key" and "Lying by My Side" Chris has created a record that really represents life in the Sunshine State. My personal favorite from this CD is actually the instrumental surf tune "Surf's Up". Even the font used on the CD cover kind of resembles that of The Beach Boys.

The musicians he chose to work with on the record all deliver fabulous performances and overall the record sounds better than anything that I've heard him produce yet. Atta boy, Chris!
