BLAIR LOTT Releases “ROOMS AND BOXES”
Atlanta-based musician returns from extended Australian sabbatical with
much-anticipated, introspective and moving new solo album
“Rooms and Boxes”in stores Now
(Atlanta, Georgia) The last time that many of his fellow Georgians heard from
musician Blair Lott, the jovial singer/bandleader was the frontman for the rock
ensemble known as Ruben Kincaid. Since then, Blair has lived in Australia,
written and recorded a new solo album, and gathered together an ensemble of
seasoned side-men who are now proudly known as The Blair Lott Band.
Rooms and Boxes, Blair’s first-ever solo CD, is in stores now.
Several years ago Blair bought himself a one-way plane ticket to Australia,
where he took his time carefully writing and recording tracks in Melbourne with
able assistance from Aussie producer/rock star Michael Spiby (leader of a
popular and critically acclaimed ‘roo rock outfit, The Badloves). Michael
brought his passion for Southern American rock and Gospel to the table, creating
a rich backdrop of Americana (or, perhaps, “Australiana”) to the sessions,
without letting the songs drift into blues-rock clichés. Blair’s writing on
Rooms and Boxes is focused and at times deeply personal, with a song-to-song
continuity that suggests a concept album or even a movie soundtrack.
One especially moving number, “Clear”, is dedicated to the memory of slain
American journalist Daniel Pearl, a gesture made at the request of a close personal friend of
Pearl’s. The entire collection is dedicated to bassist Stuart Speed, a
well-known and much-loved sideman among Australian musicians, who recently
passed away after a prolonged illness.
Rooms and Boxes started out as a personal release but has since been picked up
by GGP records and distributed through Select-O-Hits, both of which operate out
of Memphis, TN. Select-O-Hits was co-founded by Sam Phillips, the legendary
label boss of Sun Records. It is fitting and proper that the Southern-steeped
Rooms and Boxes has become part of this longtime tradition.
