“I was on a three week stint in northern Ontario. Late one night after the gig we were listening to a radio station out of Minnesota somewhere that was playing all this great old 50’s rock & roll, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis. It hit me that Elvis needed a killer comeback back song, so I stayed up all that night and wrote him one. As the sun was coming up I crawled into bed and fell asleep. When I woke up, Elvis was dead. I never played the song again until this year, “Tryin”, it’s the first tune on my record”.
The record features nine of Terry’s original tunes and one blazing cover, Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire”. Blues, rhythm & blues, rock ‘n roll and jazz influences are all evident, with Terry’s smooth vocals, fiery guitar and clever writing, tying it all together. There’s some rock ‘n roll (Tryin’), some blues (Wearin’ Out My Heart, Walkin’), rhythm & blues and soul (Doin’ All Right, I Don’t Need No), southern rock (Annalena) as well as three instrumentals (Flyin’, Dreamin’, Jammin’).
Terry assembled some of Canada’s finest musicians for the project. Denis Keldie (Serena Ryder, Carlos Del Junco), Garth Hudson and Lance Anderson (Shakura S’Aida, Anderson/Sloski) on piano and organ. Al Cross (Jimmy Bowskill, Jerome Godboo), Mike Sloski (Cameo Blues Band, Anderson/Sloski) and Charlie Cooley (Long John Baldry, Ronnie Hawkins) on drums. Tom Griffiths (Colin Linden, Willie P. Bennett), Garth Vogan (Midnight Walk, Chuck Jackson) and Alec Fraser (Jeff Healey, David Wilcox) on bass and John Mays (Fathead) on background vocals. Recording and mixing was done by ace engineer, Jeremy Darby (Lou Reed, Eric Clapton) at The Canterbury Music Company.
