Album Notes

Bass Reeves is a noted Poet and Philoshopher who has turned his attention to his greatest passion .....writing, recording and performing his extensive catalogue of songs.
His current band has participated in the creation of over 30 gold and platinum albums and has created a sound worthy of comparison to some of the greats of the genre.
Here's what some are saying:

"When I listen to Bass play and hear what He is saying, my heart is taken on a journey. To me he has proven a powerful thing....that to be determined in your dream you can achieve anything. He set out to make this Album and I feel that this is just the beginning. His potential is limitless and like a wildflower in the wind his music will forever spread and grow."
Natasha Lili Klauss........Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts

"I work with the best Bands and Muscians in the world every day in my professional life. Bass and His Band belong with them all. But Bass as a writer belongs in that sparse catagory occupied by very few....Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Ani Difranco.....make room!"
Carol Calato, President, JD Calato Mfg. Makers of Regal Tip

Music of the Spheres
author: Paul Bondarovski - Midnight Special Blues Radio
The Universe is full of music. Pythagoras discovered it first and called it "The Music of the Spheres". We cannot hear it, since we are deaf to the frequencies it's played at. Not all of us, though. Not Bass Reeves. Otherwise I cannot explain the origins of such a divine oeuvre like "If You Ignore the Truth"... I know Bass doesn't talk much. I guess I know why - every time I play his album, it leaves me speechless for hours.

This CD is incredible. When I listen to That's How I Get and the other songs too, I find myself smiling and shaking my head with my eyes closed like "DAMN this is good!" If you have a soul, this music is for you. I just love it, Bass. Absolutely splendid.
