Robert Berry Releases New Solo CD

05/20/2009
.
(PR) Frontiers Records is excited to announce the beginning of the cooperation with multi-talented artist Robert Berry with the release of his brand new solo album "The Dividing Line," out today in America.

Berry's abilities came into prominence in 1988, when he teamed with Keith Emerson and Carl Palmer (of ELP fame) and formed the band Three, releasing the album "To the Power of Three" for Geffen Records. He was, however, one of the most well known musical talents in the San Francisco area and was previously involved with the band Hush, and later with another '80s super group GTR. Together with former Yes guitarist Steve Howe (taking the place of none other than ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett), he wrote and recorded several tracks that sadly have never been officially released by the band, which split before the recording of the second album (one of those songs appears for the first time on this new album).

During the '90s Berry kept busy composing, arranging, and performing either as a solo artist (he has released three solo albums, with "Pilgrimage to a Point" particularly being considered a true melodic prog rock masterpiece of its era) or as a producer-session player. He also toured for years with the band Ambrosia, where he took the place of another rock giant, David Pack.

In 2008 his band Alliance (together with members of Boston, Sammy Hagar, and Night Ranger) released its critically acclaimed third album, "Road to Heaven." "There is a difference between the music I create on my own and the music that I do with Alliance," Berry said. "The Alliance lyrics are mostly about life and relationships. And the music is classic American rock. But my solo efforts are based more on my years spent in Europe. They have a more intricate structure and production."

An award winning producer and multi-instrumentalist, Berry has always displayed an uncanny knack for great melodies and exquisite playing, either in the classic progressive rock style or in a more melodic rock oriented musical environment.

"It has been some time since I put my self out to the public with a solo effort," said Berry. "I have grown, I have matured musically and lyrically. I am so honored for the chance to do what I love and share it with the listeners."

Recorded during the year 2008, "The Dividing Line" stylistically leans towards timeless melodic rock, in the vein of what Berry has been playing and composing for Three and GTR. "I wrote this note to myself as to what I would like this album to be," said Berry. "The note was, 'Music with vision, power, intensity, integrity and hope. About healing from the inside out. THE DIVIDING LINE.' 'The Dividing Line' based on my inner hope that I remain the person I have set out to be. Also, musically this album is based on the style I love most. And as I listen back, that is exactly how it came out."

The song themes deal with life, love, and human relationships and show the most personal side of Berry's artistry and vision. All in all an exciting and revealing release that should not be missed by any serious rock music fan.

"The Dividing Line" track listing includes: "The Dividing Line," "One Good Man," "Listen to the People," "Faith." "This Life," "A Life Worth Livin'," "Can't Let Go," "I Gave You the Best of Me," "Young Hearts," "Wait," and "Life is on Fire."
