Good Bread Alley CD

The sound of Rux's Good Bread Alley features a scaled down sound of live acoustic piano, upright bass, and drums. It's blue-scape brings to mind Son House, Bob Dylan, Nico & The Velvet Underground, as well as the southern fried soul of Bill Withers. If Rux's previous efforts left music critics aesthetically pleased yet full of questions like is it hip hop? Is it r&b? Is it electronica? Is it spoken word? Or is it nu soul? "Good Bread Alley" takes a simpler, less cluttered approach to the artists, often difficult to categorize music. With ten tracks of haunting melodies, beautiful lyrics and Rux's signature lush hypnotic baritone that is often described as a powerful vocal artistry somewhere between Hendrix, Scott-Heronand & Jim Morrison - a voice capable of transfixing or lulling you to sleep. "Good Bread Alley" features collaborations with Vernon Reid ("Lies") Ocean's 11 DJ David Holmes ("Living Room") also features a stellar Bill Withers Cover ("I Can't Write Left Handed").
