NEW R.G STARK CD coming in 1 week. "Blue Diamond Shine twangs with the kind of Gothic/desperate-men-do-desperate-things lyrics that haunt while propelling the boot-scooting." -Jim Beal, San Antonio Express-News. "Tough, swampy, and efficient." -Tim Peacoc
Bio / Background
The music of Blue Diamond Shine is like a highway spanning the dry, shimmering deserts of the American southwest to the sultry, simmering gumbo of the gulf coast; rambling from the stark, wind-blown prairies of North Texas to the intense, spicy caldron of the Mexican borderlands. There is considerable musical acreage covered here. Western telecaster twang (courtesy of Eric Hisaw), dancehall pedal steel (Larry Tracy), South Texas polka, swamp pop melodies, Louisiana soul, and a dash of psychedelia to boot. Band leader John "R.G." Stark weaves these elements into a compelling sound with his deep, haunting baritone and a gift for sparse, evocative verse. As San Antonio Express-News writer Jim Beal put it: "(Stark's) lyrics forsake simple rhymes in favor of odd and haunting explorations of the human condition. Stark doesn't pull any punches with his words and those who listen will come away grateful for that.
