21258 Maplewood Avenue Rocky River, Ohio 44116-1244 WRECKLESS ERIC TRANSIENCE

KEY SELLING POINTS: SOUTHERN DOMESTIC Eric Goulden, the man everyone knows as Wreckless Eric, is a rare example of an older and established artist who RECORDS hasn't lapsed into comfortable formulas. Exactly a year after his last album, the well-received Construction Time & Demolition, he's back with a new album, Transience. For every song of Wreckless Eric's you remember from his early days on Stiff Records, he's recorded 10 more that you've probably never heard. The early DIY British indie label may have been his entry-level position into the music business, but Eric Goulden didn't stop making music after the novelty of Stiff Records - and his being known as Wreckless Eric - wore off. Forty years on, Goulden is still making insightful music while the original label is but a footnote in music history.

This highly anticipated recording is not only fun but For more information please visit: swings hard and allows the dynamic guitarist and his burning band to www.davestryker.com - strikezonerecords.com stretch out on these hits from the Eight Track era.

"Davewe need to complete the Trilogy!" said Stefon Harris as we drove to a gig last summe.r We had recorded Eight Track with my working trio of Jared Gold and McClenty Hunter back in 2013 and Eight Track II followed three years later with the great Steve Nelson on vibraphone. A Trilogy? I didn't have to be asked twice!

The Eight Track projects have been not only fun, but musically rewarding. Playing these classic melodies from the '?Os has been a great way to connect with people and bring more people to the music, whether they remember the songs or are just discovering them. I enjoy the challenge of finding my way into these tunes by putting my own stamp on them through the arrangements and playing. (Besides, I had an Eight Track player in my van in high school and spent many hours listening to everything from Miles and Coltrane to Santana and Marvin Gaye!)

This time out we tackle Curtis Mayfield's "Move on Up", The Temptations' "Papa was a Rollin' Stone", Steely Dan's "Pretzel Logic", and two tunes by Stevie Wonder: "Too High" and Joy Inside My Tears". The Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" and Burt Bacharach's "This Guys In Love" show that a great melody is a great melody no matter the decade. And Stefon does Roy Ayer's classic "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" proud before we start to wind down with Marvin Gaye's "Afterthe Dance." Throughout I have to tip my hat to these outstanding musicians and friends who brought this music to life: Stefon Harris, Jared Gold, McClenty Hunter and Mayra Casales.

In these crazy times, I hope our takes on these classic songs can bring some joy and positivity into the world. The Trilogy is complete - Viva Eight Track!
