Eric Sardinas

Looking back on his first two albums Sardinas can now insightfully reflect, "These records explored everything I'd learned, but at the same time they used blues as a jumping off point to go deeper." And so with his latest release, "Black Pearls," Eric continues his ongoing artistic quest to soar above and beyond the safe confines of twelve-bar familiarity and hopefully encourage listeners to re-examine many of their preconceived notions regarding blues music. Celebrated studio legend Eddie Kramer was enlisted to spearhead this exciting and revolutionary musical undertaking. "Eric is single-handedly turning the polite world of acoustic Dobro into a mean sounding machine of blues and rock," says Kramer. "His outstanding ability and mastery of his instrument allow him to use feedback and sustain one minute and play with beautiful acoustic sensitivity the next." Employing his renowned talents and fresh perspectives, Kramer helped create an optimum environment within which Sardinas, bassist Paul Loranger, and new drummer Mike Dupke were all able to creatively thrive and flourish.

"Eddiès approach in the studio is quite unique," states Sardinas. "His organically rich ways of capturing and recording sound allowed my musical spirit to fly wherever it needed to go for the songs. This same freedom of spirit is showcased consistently throughout Eddiès past recordings. From Jimi Hendrix, to Led Zeppelin, to The Beatles, and on and on... it is clearly there. The energy that is captured on those records is like a living, breathing moment in time. I feel this is what we have achieved here; I think all those sensations come through on this record." Also worthy of note is the fact that this album was recorded completely live and direct to analog tape (ie: no Pro-Tools, no vocal tuners, etc...). New label Favored Nations plans for the record to hit store shelves in late July.
