Influences: Mike Bloomfield, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore, Steve Perry, Albert Collins, B.B.KING, Paul Butterfield Blues band, S.R.V, Colin James, Johny Winter, Jimmy Voghan, Albert King, these are only a tiny few. And the most important about playin and singin the blues, is what comes from your heart and soul, its not how fast you can play.
Sounds Like: Glenn Gillis & The Blues Experiment is one of Quebec Canada's most popular blues bands and certainly have to be one of the purist of their kind. Their second album entitled "Bad Times" is already recognized as a success, and
their stage performance justifies just that. Each musician carries a load of experience from way back in the seventies. The Blues Experiment surfaced in 2003; initially, Glenn being the only singer/ composer in the band called it: Glenn Gillis & The Blues Experiment. His very first CD came out in 2001, it was a Demo example of 12 compositions entitled, “The Travelerâ€
In 2004, the CD entitled: “The Letter D†was Glenn’s second, and was nominated for best blues CD of that year at the (Lys Blues) gala, which was held at the Club Soda in Montreal. Changes occurred in 2005 with the arrival of two new members Barry Nameth on drums, and “René Gignac†on bass raising theband to another level. After numerous concerts, stage performances, and constantly writing new material, they decided to record another CD; however, this time it was Normand Lacroix, the lead guitarist, who composed the music, and Glenn wrote all the lyrics. This recent project is entitled “Bad Times†and it came out in October 2006. Again in 2007 their cd (BadTimes) was up for nominies for blues cd of the year ------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------::La formation (Glenn Gillis & The Blues Experiment) a débuté en 2003. Glenn Gillis auteur compositeur a sortie sont premier cd intituler "The Letter D" qui a été mise en nomination au Lys Blues pour l'Abum blues de l'année. Glenn Gillis & The Blues Experiment nous offrent cette fois un album où le cheminement musical s'avère constant et très intéressant. Bien sûr, nous y retrouvons toujours l'excellente signature musicale et les influences d'un Glenn Gillis, mais cette production va encore plus loin en nous livrant notamment le fruit d'une collaboration musicale entre notre ami et des noms comme Normand Lacroix, Jay Sewall, Chuck Spring et Pat ( The White ) Leblanc. Tout ceci se traduisant par un contenu où la palette musicale s'en retrouve élargie et où le Blues à saveur texane de pièces comme " No More Doggin' " côtoie tout aussi bien des styles tels que le Blues à saveur nettement Root's d'une création comme "Rain Fall" ou encore celui d'une pièce à vocation sociale telle que l'excellente "The Waters Flow" qui est quand à elle dédiée aux victimes de l'ouragan Katrina. Je m'en voudrais de ne pas mentionner aussi ce vibrant hommage à B.B. King qui se concrétise par une version de " The Thrill is Gone " apprêtée à la sauce Glenn Gillis.
Pour conclure, l'album Bad Times nous offre une excellente variété de styles et d'influences exprimées par le biais d'une intégration très réussie aux créations originales offertes sur cette excellente production. Notre ami Glenn Gillis et ses complices ont toutes les raisons d'en être fiers.
