In
conjunction with their recent induction into The Buffalo Music Hall of
Fame, Joyryde- Johnna Scime (vocals), Mike Lacki (keyboards, vocals, harmonica)
Dick Bauerle (guitars, vocals) Dennis Parry(bass) and Al Hury (drums),
have released a CD titled …at last. Combining a good mix of original and
cover songs the band gets a chance to show off their musical versatility.
Soft rock favorites “New York State Of Mind” and “Wildflower” and dance
favorites “Since You Been Gone” and “I Will Survive” are some of the cover
songs on the CD. Mike Lacki contributes the rock and roll roadhouse
anthem “White Lightning” and “’Careful What You Wish For ‘Cause It Might
Come True” while Dick Bauerle wrote the tracks “The Knoll” a first class
guitar driven rocker and “(Give Me An) Old Song”. Highlight of the disc
is the Harry Warren penned “At Last” which gives Johnna Scime a chance
to really stretch out vocally on this soulful jazz standard. The Hitman
Horns add splendid back up on this as well. The CD closes with another
Harry Warren standard “Shuffle Of To Buffalo” with an arrangement by Mike
Lacki. For more on Joyryde check out www.joyrydeband.com
