Reuter, Recording
Bob Reuter's new band, the Dirty South - featuring another pair of veteran players in guitarist Marc Chechik and drummer John Baldus - are recording an album with producer/engineer Jason Rook. The tracks are being cut at Benton Park's Radio Penny studio, where the band's been making time for the past month. Early recordings have sounding promising, with Reuter on electric guitar, rather than acoustic, for the time in 20 years.
That's not to say he's abandoning that option. Recently, the singer-songwriter's been playing the back patio of the Atomic Cowboy, usually on Friday nights. And he's caught in the acoustic form for the next edition of Johnny Fox's KDHX show, "River City Acoustic," which will air an entire hour of his music on Friday, December 2, from 7-8 p.m.
I had the pleasure to catch Dirty South's first gig a while back at Fred's. And while Bob wasn't happy with the sound, I found the songs to be quite riveting. Looking forward to the new disc!
