| EUGENE RIPPER - FAST FOLK UNDERGROUND 5 (Sept 2018) The four key
tracks of FFU 5 were recorded in multi
instrumentalist Tim Bovaconti at his boutique studio in the Upper Beaches area of Toronto. There are two faces to the production. 01. Do
You Dream *mono" 02. Around the World *mono" Track 01 and 02 scratched a wee Joe Meek inspired ‘mono itch. Eugene Ripper, lead vocals,
acoustic guitar Tim Bovaconti - back up vocals, electric
guitar, baritone guitar, bass percussion Eugene Ripper, lead vocals, acoustic guitar Tim
Bovaconti - back up vocals, electric guitar, baritone guitar, bass, percussion 03. Northern Train 04. Angel
Track 03 and 04 feature an old musical
friend Micheal Rowe on lead vocals and bass guitar. Micheal and I worked
together for a number of years in the late 80’s an 90’s
(Toronto and Vancouver scenes) and this session was a a bit of a creative reunion
tapping into our shared salt and pepper delight in the roots
that nourish modern rock and roll music. In this case, the loopy rock and roll blues
of "Northern Train" and the reggae rock of
"Angel" Eugene Ripper - acoustic guitar, loops
Micheal Rowe - bass guitar, lead

percussion

re: The bonus
tracks. This stuff represents selects from previous albums
compiled for the European market - which is a relatively new for me
(since 2014). Worth noting that “Lines”, “Gogh Van
Gogh”, “Sweet As Rose” feature Billy Ficca
(Television) on drums and percussion |
