Geoffrey Rutledge: Quotes & Reviews
|
What are folks saying about Geoffrey Rutledge? Geoffrey
Rutledge's Big Top is big stuff. The 12 track ensemble is a fresh,
free-spirited romp with enough good cheery feelings to make grins happen.
The glue that binds this fine montage is Rutledge's seemingly open nature
and passion for the product. One gets the sense this fellow really loves
what he is doing. A rich powerful and lovely experience, easy on the ears
and warm in the heart. Geoffrey
Rutledge comes from the California coastal town of Santa Cruz, an area
full of talented artists and singers. He reminds me of the great singer-songwriters
prevalent in the late 70's such as James Taylor, B.W. Stevenson and Jesse
Winchester. In this day and age, you have not only to be a good songwriter,
you have to have a great voice as well. Rutledge qualifies in both departments.
His voice is smooth and expressive and his arrangements are varied and
always interesting. His songs have been steadily growing on me. Give this
newcomer a listen and allow his warm tender songs to grow on you too. Refreshingly
new...great presentation. And what about RST? You guys
are great! I love the way your harmonies lock even down to the vibrato.
So if anyone tells you that you sound like CSN, you just tell them to
kiss your three part butts! I believe
in RST because they have the heart, soul and talent to do what it takes...It
can happen for them. Having
the opportunity to be on stage with RST was absolutely the highlight of
my visit. They have come so far together and have melded into quite a
"smash" waiting to happen. I'm privileged to have had a small
taste of what they're all about. |
