Review from Carribean Beat

Gary Hector

Memphis Medicine (Maraval Records)

The appeal and influence of Americana and country music to outsiders — yes, it’s territorial, just ask Beyoncé — has always been enigmatic. Englishman Elton John successfully flirted with it on Tumbleweed Connection; and Saint Lucians, to this day, deify the genre. 1960s rock and roll also became an early influence for Gary Hector that infuses his second solo album Memphis Medicine. His continued escape from island genres yields rewards. Bob Dylan vocalism with vintage Rolling Stones bluesy vibes spread across the album, but the twang of the pedal steel guitar points the whole project towards a traditional Nashville quality. Hector’s first-person narratives use clever wordplay like I wanna be the first to find the last great lovesong, and droll autobiography as on “Time Flies, Time Lies” to give listeners an inside look at his character. Pioneering stuff.
