Eric Diamond – All Of Me
Premiered on KSSL in Lubbock, this one has gone on to garner worldwide airplay. And why not? Sweet combo Western Swing will find its audience, and its audience will be happily on its feet!
Eric Diamond is a seasoned swing vocalist with a list of credentials dating back into the last century. They include playing the Bob Wills Fest in Turkey, Texas. Not just anyone can (or should) claim that! As a vocalist he brings that classic swooping grit most find very genuine and roadhouse reminiscent. The single released from Diamond’s newest CD is “Strike That Match.” Okay, “Diamond” and “Match.” Coincidence??? I think not! Other picks include covers of “Oklahoma Bound,” “”I’ve Got A New Heartache,” “I Don’t Care If The Sun Don’t Shine” and “Lt’s Chase Each Other ‘Round The Room Tonight.”
The demo album was furnished with no performance or production credits. I would have happily singled out the musicians here as they did an exemplary job. Regardless, it’s highly recommended. Twelve tracks total.
