CPR ~ JUST LIKE GRAVITY BMG 4050538588637 (Barcode: 4050538588637) ~ USA ~ Classic Rock Recorded: 2001 Released: 2020 This is a reissue of the second studio album by the American Classic Rock trio CPRFind albums by this artist, led by the iconic singer / songwriter David CrosbyFind albums by this artist, guitarist / vocalist Jeff PevarFind albums by this artist and Crosby’s son keyboardist / vocalist James RaymondFind albums by this artist. The trio is accompanied by bassist Andy FordFind albums by this artist (or Leland SklarFind albums by this artist on one track) and drummer Steve DiStanislaoFind albums by this artist. The album presents twelve original songs, written or co-written by the trio members. The trio’s sound and musical direction is remarkably similar to the Crosby, Stills & NashFind albums by this artist legacy, with brilliant vocal harmonies, beautiful lyrical songwriting and heartfelt performances, but it had its own somewhat different slightly Jazzy tinge due to Pevar’s inclination in that direction. The group was founded shortly after Crosby’s liver transplant and his meeting with Raymond, who grew up with foster parents. The two clicked immediately and remain inseparable to this very day, making music together. Founding of the trio marked Crosby’s remarkable return to music making, which resulted in two studio and two live albums with CPR, as well as a string of solo albums and tours with Crosby, Stills & Nash. Overall this is a remarkable Classic Rock album, with every song just perfect, sublime singing and harmony, in short an instant classic. It is great to have it reissued and readily available again and since this is absolutely timeless music, anybody who missed at the time – here is an opportunity to make things right!
