Rod Kinny – The Definitive Collection
American musician Rod Kinny from Minnesota has always been interested in music. He was already in a band at school, and later played bass guitar in local rock bands. During his military service in the UK he started to appreciate the music of Level 42, Peter Gabriel, The Prefab Sprout, Scritti Pollitti etc.
He then played in local rock bands, but that caused frustration, so he opted for a solo career. A solo album was released in 2002. Then it took until 2010 when ‘Higher Self’ was released, a West Coast oriented album. ‘Forces of Nature’ was released in 2017, and now a new album has been released digitally. This contains Rod’s best tracks, plus 3 new songs. So he wrote all 18 songs himself.
‘Windswept Highway’ opens, on which Rod plays bass and rhythm guitar and sings. It is a West Coast rock song, after which the softer ‘Under The Freeway’ continues. ‘Higher Self’ continues in the same vein, and ‘Mood Glow’ is a mid-tempo track, while ‘See the Stars’ sounds more rhythmic.
Emerging guitarist Roberto Restuccia has already left his mark on the music business with his albums Exposure (2016), When The Smoke Clears (2017), and With Every Turn (2021).
When two guitar virtuosos of high renown play together, it is fair to expect something great. It was that way with Larry and Lee, and it’s no different with Larry and Paul.
Sweden based formation Soweco consists of Fredric Renmark (vocals), Mattias Roos (keys) and Peter Gustafsson (drums). The band name is an abbreviation of Soul West Coast (SoWeCo) and their music style can be defined as soul, west coast and smooth jazz. Their debut album Don’t Hide Your Love hit the streets in 2012, followed by the sophomore album Only You in 2015.
