Dois Gemeos – Dois Gemeos
Review By Brent-Anthony Johnson

Dois Gemeos - Craig Shields, Larry Chaney

Groovy. Just plain groovy! This is wonderful little ’06 release seems to have leaped out of the early 1960’s Bossa Nova recordings, most notably recorded by Joao Gilberto and Carlos Jobim. What a cool sound!! But, check this out, Dois Gemeos is Craig Shields and Larry Chaney of Edwin McCain’s band!! What?! Again, cool. Craig’s tenor saxophone and Larry’s sultry nylon string acoustic and big electric (a la Wes Montgomery) just oozes all over this disc. Do you wanna impress someone over a candle-lit dinner? THIS disc will do it for you! Also of note, Angel Chaney (Larry’s son) sings Stevie Wonder’s “Vision,” and kills it!

The real sound on the disc is Lee Hendricks acoustic contrabass and electric bass guitar work throughout the disc! This is a cool workout for players looking for a cool disc to play along with. Furthermore, as expected from any recording in Nashville, this disc is full to the brim with great sounds and solid production! Dave Harrison’s drum and percussion work and Pete Riley’s guitar are also wonderful contributions to this recording’s overall sound, and what a great sound it is! Nice work, fellas!

Must hear cuts, “Dois Gemeos” / “Visions” / “O Que Eu Queria Dizer”
