‘I’d Rather Be Wrong’ lifts the pace again with it catchy underlying soulful backing harmonies and great guitar tones, before we are introduced to the vocal talent of the incredible Diiamond Meeks (American Idol) on ‘Soul Intervention’, which is exactly as its title tells us – so full of soul that you can’t help but move to the music. Grossi himself kick starts the second track with his simple but effective bassline, before the now familiar bluesy harp eases us into the slower groove of ‘Right Down Below’, which drifts along with a real cool funk/blues vibe. The album begins with the foot-tapping, piano and harmonica infused opener ‘Slave to My Rhythm’ with its up-tempo vibe and fabulous guitar solo, provided by twenty-four-year-old Derek Day. From Hendrix to Curtis Mayfield, from The Rolling Stones to The Black Keys via Sly and the Family Stone, the array of sound influences on Fab’s music is pretty wide. The time is right for ‘Fab’ to step into the spotlight, so to speak and he has written and fronted a wonderful debut record. ‘Counterfeited Soulstice Vol.1’ is a collection of eleven tracks written and performed by Italian-born and now Californian-based producer, bass player and songwriter Fabrizio Grossi, who is also known for his work with a host of names including Slash, Gary Clark Jnr, Steve Vai, Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales, Billy Gibbons & Warren Hayes to name but a few. If your vibe is funk-filled 70’s inspired bluesy rock n’ roll then look no further than the debut album from Fabrizio Grossi & Soul Garage Experience, released on September 10.
