Saunders - The Billy White Acre Sessions +
This seven track EP features the evocatively
striking vocal exercises of Dudley Saunders. The Billy White Acre Sessions
+ puts the spotlight on a man deeply immersed in his lyrics and music.
I was most impressed with the Saunders vocal delivery and found the musicianship
beyond reproach on this EP. The key component throughout this CD is the
outstanding vocals of Saunders. He uses the music as platforms for his
emotive and heartfelt prose.
The organ playing of Pierpaolo Tiano adds
a dark edge to this music, an element that compliments Saunders vocals
just right. The Undoing (Everyday) is an incredible song, an obvious
choice to push for a breakthrough single. The song leaves behind the alt
country feel and opts for a more pop-rock flavor, which suits his voice
beautifully. You will not be able to get this song out of your head and
they make sure you do not by kicking off the CD with it and closing the
curtain on the proceedings with the radio edit version just to remind you
how good it is.
Dudley Saunders has a flexible and strong
voice that would probably fit in with just about any style of music. I
would like to hear him do some rockin blues numbers; I think it would
serve him well. Regardless of my opinion, any particular style or musical
preference for any listener, this EP is a fine representation of dynamic
vocal powers coupled with acoustic guitar playing.
