Golden Days by Maurice Gene
Golden Days is the title of the LP debut of Maurice Gene published on Vinyl, CD and Streaming platforms.
The lyric of Gene goes along epic and mundane life. Nostalgic, dreamers, sinners, helpless, lovers, abused, fighters, castaways, libertarians and heroes dance within the verses and take life through the melodies.
Eleven songs invite us to seat and travel in a red Mustang, to look life through the rearview mirror and evoke nostalgia of an already finished trip from a not so far stray youth.
Accompanied by his melodies and guitar riffs, we can drive along the Mother Road listening to a touch of the different musical referents that nourish his songs. It sounds the paraphrase, the footnotes of masters like Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Eagles... essentials of the Folk-Rock movement from the seventies. And if the 70s are the roots, the 80 y 90 are the trunk and branches of his style, a continuum wrapped crown of sensibility that Maurice transforms into a unique and personal sound that also goes between Americana and Alternative/Indie Folk.
Recorded and produced at his own studios, this album has been supported by the guru Scott Hull from the famous Masterdisk Studios in New York, who personally took charge of the Mastering and Cutting for Vinyl.
In Golden Days the artist has taken care of every detail, not by chance, the composer and producer inclines himself to paint his lyrics and scores on a vinyl, returning to the magic of keeping those records spinning or playing an entire album on repeat.
