The Motor City is a down and dirty place to be these days. Captain Ivory’s music reflects this sentiment with a raw power that mirrors the crumbled rubble of a Detroit city street. The same streets that laid the groundwork for some of Rock N’ Roll’s most acclaimed artists–Captain Ivory kept their ear to the pavement to blend sounds both new and old. A sound of legends who’ve walked before, with a twist of new that is sure to get your feet tapping and hands clapping…
What started as a random jam session in the summer of 2012 has snowballed into a collection of songs, and a calling that has taken this group far beyond our little jam space in Ypsilanti, MI. After many hundreds of hours of writing & rehearsal, thousands of miles worth of gigging, and the relentless support of each and every one of you, we’ve crafted a nine song debut album that represents the wild and crazy ride the past year and a half has been.
Just over a year ago, we came together to make music that blends the inner sentiments of blues and roots music and fused the raw energy of rock ‘n’ roll into a combustible cocktail that heats up like a Molotov cocktail (or your chest proceeding a rough morning after a guy in the audience gives you 50-year old scotch from a flask in an alley…we’re looking at you Indianapolis). With the collective insight of Detroit soul to the subtle delicacies of 70’s radio. We wrote insightful songs that blend a myriad of ideas: love, turmoil, drugs, and the gravitas of personal experience. Phrases turn, emotions connect, and melodies soar. You sing along even if you’ve never heard the tune before. We write from a perspective of distance, of interludes between lovers and lives and the roads that lead from small Michigan towns to decadent façades of big cities.
Our debut CD was recorded at Tempermill Studios in Ferndale, Michigan over a beer-addled, coffee-riddled, December 2013. With the help of studio owner, producer, and pedal steel picker-extraordinaire, Dave Feeny, we knocked out nine guitar-infused rock n’ roll originals that we’ve been waiting to properly record for quite sometime. Dave’s 20+ years of production experience are evident on these songs, as he brought fresh ideas for song arrangement and sonic detail that stepped things up to the next level. We even managed to talk him into laying some pedal steel down on our song “Tennessee Approximately”. A deer in the headlights moment for us, as he won a Grammy for his pedal steel work with Jack White and Loretta Lynn in 2006.
