In the same way we hang on to our Pink Floyd albums and our Guess Who 8-tracks, fans will hold on to Gris Gris CD’s for some time to come. This offering of psycho-rock-a-ballad-funk-folk contains a collection of Greg Ashley’s concoctions using a level of experimentation reminiscent of Tangerine Dream. The band’s near-cult following will love the album with its dynamic highs and lows. Wanna hear what a Texas youngster can do with a little Los Angeles influence? Get this disc. You may not think you hear much Texas influence in the Gris Gris sound, but the underlying Texas independence is thick and evident. This is another fine release from the Birdman Recording Group, who also released Greg Ashley’s solo project.
