Can.Ky.Ree

The annals of Chicago’s Can.Ky.Ree mirrors the life span connection with its originator, a vocalist and guitarist with the name of Tom Musick. In the 1970s and early ’80s, Musick got dwelled within a fertile LA delta where in fact the paisley underground fulfilled street-level punk buggery. But issues got dried up significantly by 1987, leading Musick to create paths for Paris, France. The bash and pop of his punk rock and roll past didn’t soar in the town of Light, but a clutch of half-remembered Hank Sr. music sure appeared to buy meals. Shortly, the erstwhile Western world Coastline punk was producing his way being a nation and cowboy music troubadour, serenading biker pubs with tracks that combined American root base and Parisian musette. Later during the night, he’d retire towards the dilapidated cargo barge that was his house, and allow scratchy wail from the Arabic radio place fill up his dreams. A decade later, the blowing wind got blown Musick to Chicago, where he and his aged classical guitar discovered kindred spirits in metal guitarist Steve Dorocke and bassist Ryan Hembrey. The three started jamming for the piquant grooves of their collective musical knowledge, and a beta edition of Can.Ky.Ree was created. By 2001, Hembrey got turned to piano, Andy Rader (Pinetop Seven) got joined up with on upright bass, and accordionist Rob Cruz was completing with a colourful flourish. They started a normal residency at a bruised and friendly Chicago watering gap, as well as the quintet’s evocative audio drew notice because of its tastes of Americana, wistful balladry, and spicy Parisian overtones. There is actually an echo of Musick’s aged Arabic radio hearing classes in his wandering vocal as well as the wailing accordion of Cruz. East of Earshot, Can.Ky.Ree’s self-released debut, made an appearance in late 2002. Though both Cruz and Dorocke departed after saving the recording, Musick, Hembrey, and Rader continuing on like a trio, augmented by clarinetist John Doyle and percussionist Gerald Dowd.
