A mixture of sounds reminiscent of the Beatles and Bob Dylan, and a great hot country track.
notes
Emotions run high across all tracks in Gene Strandquist's
debut album, Food To The Hungry.
Gene Strandquist is a multi-talented musician, music teacher, and
classical music composer based in Calgary, Canada. This album
contains Beatle-esque and Dylan-esque tracks along with Latin and
Traditional country sounds, currently being enjoyed by all age groups.
Rangeland Rider is quickly becoming a theme song for the Calgary
Stampede chuckwagon races. It is a fast-paced, highly motivating tune
about a man's desire to be a contender in the greatest chuckwagon
race ever – the Rangeland Derby. It features the voice of JOE
CARBURY, legendary chuckwagon race announcer.
− Standing At My Father's Door: an upbeat, spiritual song about
getting old and accepting one's mortality.
− Food to the Hungry: a steamy little number about the symbiosis
which exists between a man, his desires, and a woman's
compromise in order to live life comfortably.
− Alida : A love song with a latin flavor
− I Wasn't Looking : Some good old country “twang” and delicious
lyrics
− Distant Sorrow: A haunting vocal and piano piece that will make
you cry
− Misery: A tale of drug and alcohol related dysfunction between a
man and his woman
The album was mastered by William Szawlowski, a holder of many
double-platinum , platinum and gold records.

Defying easy categorization is Gene Strandquist’s ace-in-the-hole on the Canadian singer-songwriter’s fine debut CD, “Food To The Hungry.” Instead of letting his song craft be defined by adherence to a particular style or genre, Strandquist simply goes for the hook, a strategy that works very well. Indeed, there’s a distinct honky tonk feel to 2 songs, the ramblin’ CD-opener, “Rangeland Ride,” and the hook-laden “I Wasn’t Looking” while the closing track, “Distant Sorrow,” is an affecting piano ballad of no fixed persuasion. Title song, “Food To The Hungry,” with its minor-key resolve, is equally catchy with a Carlos Santana like melody and florid guitar runs while “Standing At My Father’s Door” has a wonderful post-Beatles vibe reminiscent of Ringo’s early solo hits. If that weren’t enough, “Misery” features a positively Dylan-esque like vocal delivery and “Alida” is a very pretty love song. This disc runs full force with seven songs embedded with seven melodic triumphs. File Gene Strandquist’s “Food to the Hungry” CD in pop-rock, but know that it’s much more than that.
