Am I Blue is a unique blend of the full spectrum of musical experiences of it's song writers. Born of the blues but influenced by R&B, Funk, Jazz, Rock and Pop, the songs are a fresh take on a well established genre.
Written and produced primarily by singer/guitarist, Sean Denton and drummer, Mark Talbott, the CD varies from straight ahead R&B to a more contemporary pop blues sound.
The smooth, soulful voice and catchy lyrics of Sean Denton capture the essence of classic blues while together as a band, Gryffyn creates a truly unique blend of music. From the cool bluesy title track, "Am I Blue" to the up-beat funk stylings of "Clean Up Man' to the jazz influenced "Earl's Boogie", The Gryffyn Band stretches out to cover the gambit of R&B.
Whether you're a fan of the slide guitar, phat Hammond B3 chops, strong backbeat drumming or tight rythm sections you'll find it all on these recordings.
The Gryffyn Band is made up of veteran Seattle area musicians Sean Denton, Rick Mutter, Mark Talbott and Jim Collins.
Ask them about their influences and you're likely to hear such names as Albert King, Perry Como, Sid Vicious, Captain Beefheart, Eric Clapton, Dreams, Jimmy Smith, Weird Al and Robben Ford amongst many, many others. These guys have been around the block! :)

Definitely a hit

I marked this a 4 because the next CDs the Gryffyn Band produces will be even better. "You're The One" should definitely put 'em on the charts. I've been listening to the album most every day on my to/from work. Great stuff. Lots a fun.
