Hatch is the latest release from Canada's Joey Wright. Like his previous two albums, "Hatch" features outstanding instrumentals and inspired arrangements. Unlike his other work, however, "Hatch" features eight new songs by Wright. Joey has been co-writing songs for years now with his partner Jenny Whiteley, but this is the first time we hear him handling the vocals on his own compositions. The songs on "Hatch" are lyrically dreamy and poetic, and melodically inventive and catchy. For the recording of "Hatch", Joey assembled a cast of first rate musicians from many walks of music. Covering the rhythm section, is Evan Cranley and Pat McGee of the pop band Stars. Handling the string bass and violin string section is Joe Phillips (Sarah Slean, London Symphony) and John Showman (the Creaking Tree String Quartet, The Foggy Hogtown Boys). The backup vocals are beautifully sung by Sarah Harmer, Jenny Whiteley and Stars'' Amy Millan, while there are special appearances by Christine Bougie and Dan Whiteley. The record was made at Ottawa's "Little Bullhorn Studio", and recorded to 2' tape by Dave Draves (Jim Bryson, Kathleen Edwards, Gentleman Reg). Parallels are being drawn between "Hatch" and some of Beck's work, as well as Elliott Smith had he cut his teeth on bluegrass and sixties psychedelic rock. Joey is known for his lyrical and inspired guitar and mandolin playing. He is versed in many styles such as bluegrass, blues, swing, pop and country. He is also known for his unique compo ATTENTION: please remember that all Blu-Rays are Region A USA and all DVDs Region 1 USA and you will need a multi region Blu-Ray/DVD player to play them.
