Album Notes

IF YOU ARE A HEAD BANGER THIS CD IS NOT FOR YOU, BUT IT MIGHT BE TOMMORROW MORNING. THE CUTTERS ARE A GROUP OF MUSICIANS WHO LOVE TO JAM. PLAYING LIVE MUSIC IS THE ULTIMATE THRILL. FORMED IN 1996 WE HAVE PLAYED FESTIVALS AND FAIRS BUT THE MOST ENJOYABLE ARE THE SMALL INTIMATE SETTINGS SUCH AS CLUBS PARTIES AND FUND RAISING EVENTS. NOW A BIT ABOUT THE MUSIC. FOLK MUSIC ENCOMPASSES A VAST ARRAY OF GENRES AND IN MY OPINION ALL MUSIC COMES UNDER THIS CATEGORY. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT THE BLUES. THE FEELING AND BEAT OF THE BLUES IS THOUSANDS OF YEARS OLD AND CAN BE FOUND WORLD WIDE. BLUES IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL POP MUSIC FROM GERSHWIN TO JAZZ TO HIP- HOP. EVERY CULTURE IN THE WORLD HAS ITS OWN TAKE ON MUSIC AND EVERYONE IS INFLUENCED LOCALLY. THE CUTTERS MUSIC HAS BEEN INFLUENCED BY THE FOLK-BLUES TRENDS IN NORTH AMERICA OVER THE PAST 0NE HUNDRED OR SO YEARS. AND IS OUR TAKE ON THE LOCALIZATION PROCESS. NOW FOR SOME FUN: IF YOU ARE A GUITAR PLAYER AND LIKE TO PLAY ALONG WITH CDS OR THE RADIO AS I DO TRY TRACK NUMBER 4, CRANK IT UP AND PUT YOUR LEADS INTO IT. WE OMMITTED THE LEAD TRACKS TO MAKE THIS AN INTER-ACTIVE TRACK. MAKE THIS YOUR SONG HAVE FUN AND LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES. WHEN WE PLAY THIS SONG LIVE ALL THE GUITAR PLAYERS OR GUEST GUITARISTS IN THE BAND ADD A LITTLE DIFFERENT TAKE. EACH INDIVIDUAL PLAYING STYLE AND GUITAR AND AMP COMBINATION MAINTAINS A FRESHNESS.
