Album Notes

After recording "Broken-Down Blues Man," Tom Downing, Brian Girard, and Cinzi Lavin left the studio knowing they had created something wonderful.

"I first heard Tom a few years ago at the Foundation Room in Boston's House of Blues. He has such soul--I knew he would be the perfect voice for this song," said Lavin.

Brian Girard made an outstanding contribution to the recording with both percussion and bass, while Lavin played piano and Rhodes.

"Brian's exceptionally intuitive; working with him was very easy," says Lavin. "He was really feeling it. We played off each other so well. You can hear it in the song."

She adds, "Tom Downing is the kind of singer who gives you everything he's got. He totally opened it up on this one. It just doesn't get any better than that."

The impromptu recording session was the first time the three had worked together, and they realized they shared a musical kinship besides having great technical coherence.

The trio is pleased to announce that they will continue recording under the band name Brick, Rivet, & Lime. For more info, please visit www.brickrivetandlime.com
