about

Bob Reuter passed away 2013 in an accident that was tragic for innumerable reasons. One of those reasons was that his drive and his spark had a renewed power. Before Bob's passing, his next album was being planned. He had already been rehearsing and partially performing the songs with his band of road warriors, Bob Reuter's Alley Ghost.

This album shows the well-oiled machine that Bob’s band had become. After Bob passed, the band continued to tour with guitarists Brice Baricevic and Mat Wilson handling vocal duties. By the time the band entered the studio, 80% of this album was mapped out and ready to go (In fact, the band had tracked several songs onto tape when the reel-to-reel malfunctioned. They had to re-track everything and I have to say we scarcely lost time, all credit due to the preparedness of this band and professionalism of the engineers).

There is a spirit Bob carried that gives his music an extra layer of life. You can’t touch it or name it, but good songs are a living scripture. And Bob Reuter was filled with good songs. But there was something else happening that weekend.

Bob’s backing bands through the years had a recurring pattern of South City diamonds who celebrated his unique energy. People who were able to capture and reflect that energy back to him. Alley Ghost did this better than any band Bob ever had. They shared a connection with a special part of Bob, a side of him that was primal, cut-throat and unapologetic. The sweat and intensity that is rock & roll. When Bob left, his energy stayed, and Bob Reuter's Alley Ghost brought that energy into the studio.

This album is the result.
