In today’s music industry, it is a rare and precious thing to come across an artist who pays homage to the classic rock era with such passion and authenticity. Mark Bram, the mastermind behind Ruby Topaz, is one of those heroes, now unveiling his latest album ‘Rabbit Hole’: a testament to his unwavering commitment to the timeless art of musicianship.
Inspired by legendary bands such as The Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Bram’s extensive knowledge of classic rock is evident in every note and melody, making the record a worthy listen for every nostalgic listener out there. Exploring organic instruments and classic songwriting, the album showcases a charming old-school approach featuring real people playing real instruments – a not-so-obvious feature these days.
Notably, Bram’s high-pitched vocal range echoes some of the heroes of the past – think Jimmy Page and his signature screams. During 14 wonderful tracks, ‘Rabbit Hole’ is a journey through history and the many nuances of classic rock, delivered with charm and flair by the American talent. Or course, not every track will be guitar-based, with a plethora of mellower offerings, championing retro keys and choral vocals.
