Info for Thank You Baby!

Spirituals, blues, soul and roots music form the creative foundation for 'Thank You Baby!' 'This kind of music was familiar to me as a young lad. When Siggi Loch suggested devoting my new album to this music, I immediately was really keen. I didn't want to wallow in nostalgia though, but express myself through it,' says Goods, referring to the preparations for the new album. Goods' warm-sounding, fast picking guitar, his flexible phrasing and smooth vocals; Haffner's uniquely bouncy drums; Di Gioia's inspirational, effervescent piano and Fender Rhodes; Lefebvre's concise bass; all of these merge to form distinctively new, convincing interpretations: The irresistibly rolling, archaic 'Work Song' (Nat Adderley), the nicely relaxed 'Hallelujah - Love Her So' (Ray Charles), or the killer swing in Marvin Gaye's famous Motown classic 'How Sweet It Is'. Goods mentions the 'magic' that set in at the recording sessions, with a real understanding for groove and musical reduction. It was a conscious decision to choose a compact 4-piece line-up: 'The idea was to make the music sound pure and like a live studio performance, and just as they would have done it in the sixties.' Goods and his fellow musicians have embraced the repertoire with love and devotion, deeply touching the listener's emotion.
