Sally Beth Roe

Gerald Gradwohl talks about Sally Beth Roe, "After the release of our last album, "Tritone Barrier" back in 2007, we had many great gigs all over Europe and during this period I wrote a bunch of new songs especially for this trio line-up. When we started thinking about a new album, we decided to make it "as live as possible", to capture the vast energy and fun we have onstage. Three consecutive days of recording, and that's it (except for overdubs on two tunes). In the studio, we initially recorded 2 or 3 takes per tune, however, after a while we noticed that we liked the first takes for most of the tunes more, so by the end of the recording session, we weren't doing second takes anymore - for "Blues", "No Matter" and "Joni" we only did one take. For me, the new album has some kind of "raw and vintage" feel - I hope you can sense the atmosphere, energy and fun we had during the recording sessions!"
