Product information "Simple Life"
Diverse. Emotional. Gripping.
Dudley Taft’s album, “Simple Life”, kicks off with a bang. A powerful, irresistibly attractive drum beat draws you into the opening track, whether you want to or not, unfolding an enchanting and compulsively haunting grunge anthem. “Give Me A Song”, a number about a new love after a break-up and divorce, sparkles with optimism and sets high standards, but then the blues rocker with a grunge
background has delivered a whole dozen of fantastic songs on his latest album release. Taft’s material on “Simple Life” sounds more compact and conclusive than ever before.
He founded his first band together with Trey Anastasio (Phish) while he was still at high school. In 1990 he moved to Seattle and became part of the grunge explosion, playing with bands such as Sweet Water and Second Coming, which had two top 20 singles. Together with these acts, Dudley toured alongside icons such as Alice in Chains, Monster Magnet, Candlebox, Lenny Kravitz and Godsmack.
His encounter with Led Zeppelin vocalist Robert Plant inspired Dudley to explore the blues genre. The music of Texas heroes such as Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughan and ZZ Top served as an additional inspiration, creating over time the Austin Seattle experience that defines Taft’s sound.
At times Dudley leans more towards the blues, as on his ballad “I Can’t Live Without You”, at others more towards the independent sound of his adolescence, such as on “Shine” and “Pouring Down”, which reminds Taft of his time with Sweet Water and Second Coming. But mostly it’s that irresistible mix, a wide range of rock stylistics, that he blends into a haunting sound.
