"Orphan of Love"
Gus Brett’s new CD release
Orphan of Love
Gus Brett’s new CD Orphan of Love started five years
ago in a tiny 1950’s cottage in Cave Creek AZ. After
months of traveling around the Phoenix Valley checking out
local recording studios, he decided to do it himself.
“I just couldn’t find the right people with
the right sound. After months of research I bought my own
studio.”
Gus Brett learned the art of recording quickly and with
the help of some local musicians, veteran studio engineers
and a Grammy winning mastering engineer, he has produced
a first rate CD that stands, not so quietly, on its own.
“ This record is strong. It has presence.”
Gus explains in a clearly detached way.
“Doing it myself took a long time but it allowed me
to keep my vision and not have to make compromises.”
Orphan of Love is a diverse piece of work with rockabilly,
folk, blues and rock n roll influences.
“ It’s basically a contemporary acoustic rock
record with a bunch of unique expressions of standard music
formats.” Gus explains.
Although the record is diverse it has a flow and rhythm.
It’s not a schizophrenic gathering of whatever the
artist felt like doing. The record has a life of it’s
own. It feels like a journey, with many stories, and concepts,
all leading back to the human spirit.
“ I’m a Zen meditator of 11 years. I can’t
help but express the truths of life as seen through the
lens of spiritual practice.”
Whether it’s the ache of loneliness as in the song
“Abandoned” or the sultry, seduction of a gorgeous
women in “Closeness”. there is always a theme
of returning to one’s power, to some form of safety
that is beyond our frantic human predicament.
Orphan of Love is here to make a statement to the world:
I am unique, I am blessed and cursed, I am graceful and
destructive and I will rise like a Phoenix through it all,
and live and authentic loving life.
Orphan of Love is a record worth listening to.
“Each of us must make our own true way and when we
do, that way
will express the universal way. This is the mystery”
