Gary Eisenbraun - Eyes Open (2020)

An album where melody and the darkness of the blues collide.... When you're creating an album you don't really know where you are going with it. If you are too aware of that... you are doomed to fail. It's ONLY after the fact that you can figure out where your unconscious mind was heading. What is the common thread that links these songs together? With me, it's always the blues. But..., sometimes that is masked in different ways. I hear darkness with a light... and a way to... get out. That's the real blues. We are not doomed in our own lives. There is hope in the micro and the macro. You just have to get past the moment and the blues helps you see the real light. It helps you get.. past the moment and into what lies beyond... Some mud is slung. Some hurt is captured. Some pain is unrequited. But, ... that's what we all go through. If it was that easy... we wouldn't feel the blues and .... a ... need for healing. A crying guitar... is an excellent life raft... so climb aboard. I got ya.
