DO NOTE THIS IS A CD!!
Rob Lamothe’s 1996 debut solo album ‘Gravity’ is being reissued as a Deluxe Edition
2CD (including alternate takes, live, demo and unreleased tracks).
Rob Lamothe initially gained prominence as the lead vocalist for Los Angeles rock band Riverdogs, who
released their critically acclaimed debut album in 1990 on Epic Records. Riverdogs still make records
occasionally, when guitarist Vivian Campbell can get a break from his other bands (Def Leppard, Last In Line).
Lamothe went solo with his debut album ‘Gravity’ in 1996. The album introduced a more introspective side to
Lamothe’s songwriting, exploring a depth of emotions, from sorrow, to love, to pain, to hope; a poignant
reflection of the human experience. Showcasing his talents as a truly versatile singer-songwriter and storyteller,
Lamothe infuses ‘Gravity’ with blues, folk, and Americana to create a sonic journey of ethereal highs to raw,
soul-stirring lows.
‘Gravity’ was written and recorded in the summer of 1994, after returning to Los Angeles from a 30-date
European tour with Riverdogs. Writing and recording ‘Gravity’ was medicine, as Rob left longtime musical
collaborators in Southern California and moved to Canada, to be near his sons. Arriving in Hamilton, Ontario, he
camped out in hotels and basements, carrying his acoustic guitar into any open mic or jam session he could find.
Before long, he was meeting and making music with local but world-class musicians, many of whom played and
sung on ‘Gravity’.
Incl. innersleeve with lyrics.
