Bluesguy Schwartz & The New Jack Hippies
Blue Jack Hippies

This one is all bluesrock, blues and rhythm & blues. Cool!

Guy & The Hippies had never done an album with the same musical style throughout, but putting the band together at two Houston, Texas blues jams (at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar & The Big Easy) has made it's mark. We couldn't do this if we were a signed band, but as independant artists, we can, so we took the 6 blues and bluesrock songs off of the Emotional Inconvenience CD (which has all kinds of rock and rhythm, with tastes of blues, funk, jazz and country as well as blues) and added 8 more of the same. Some of it is not your Father's blues, but the fifteen musicians on this CD are all veterans of the Texas blues scene.

The New Jack Hippies
Homegrown

This is not the infamous weed CD, but...
When songwriters Roger Tausz and Guy Schwartz first write a new song, it is usually recorded immediately onto 6 - 24 tracks, so they have a record of their ideas (to compensate for their self-initiated lack of short-term memory). Some of these first-day demos pass the test of time better than the master sessions recorded later, while others are just plain interesting, giving us a window to the creative process as well as a peek into each song's original spark. Sometimes it's a mellow guitar and bass with a drum machine, and other times it's a full-tilt production. Either way, it's American Music - full of rock and rhythm, with tastes of blues, funk, folk, jazz and country.

Price: $10.00

Here's a CD full of Guy Schwartz' best work from 1975-1995, most of which has never before been released on CD. When Schwartz resumed his recording career in1995, this was the first thing he wanted to do, so that his young daughter's friends would understand that he made music 'for real'. His old 12" vinyl records had not impressed these kids at all, since all of their favorite music came on CDs. :)

Included are Schwartz songs from his solo career, as well as unused or previously unreleased tracks from Z-Rocks and Relayer.

Price: $10.00

Roger Tausz has too much spare time on his hands, and he often fills it with the writing and recording of these "bass ditties". Some are destined to become songs, while others remain intact as instrumental gems ranging from ambient to funk to jazz.

Bass players will love this CD for the amazingly layered, multi-tracked basses which make up the majority of the sound. The rest of us just groove to the sounds!

Guy Schwartz & The New Jack Hippies
Live at Dan Electro's Guitar Bar
Recorded 9/24/99 in Houston, Texas, USA

According to Guy, this was "the first time we ever had the convergence of all three of the necessary ingredients... We brought a recorder, we played really well, and the live board mix was good enough. There were a few unexpected jams, and some songs that none of us had planned to do. It was a great night!"

Price: $10.00
