The REM and Elvis Costello influences of their first album, Classified Misinformation, carry over and are enhanced by the new dimension that Wyatt brings to the table this time around. You will still find a few love and breakup songs. But this time, the lyrics are influenced by the world around us, with songs about high school misfits, a nation where wealth and fame are overvalued, and how today’s adults may not care about the world they leave for future generations. There’s even a song about a 1930’s serial killer. There are songs about acceptance of those different than yourself and how generations disagree. “These are stressful times, and we made an album that is influenced by those times,” says Wyatt.
The band worked hard to write good songs and the performances made those songs shine. “Bob is a powerful and creative drummer, and the engine that powers the band. John and I form the foundation to keep things solid. Davin is amazing on piano and organ and helps with insight into arrangements. And Phil has been extremely soulful and creative on sax. Davin and Phil are the icing on the cake. They take the solos and make everything sweet and shiny. They elevate every song to a new level,” explains Cottrill. Although The Grey Agents have always been known for their powerful harmony vocals, on “Last Generation,” four band members also sing lead. “We follow the tradition of bands like The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, and The Band where every band member can sing lead. And with Phil in the band the vocals are better than ever,” says Farmer. Workman adds “the quality of the production, produced and mixed by Brian and recorded in his home studio, is sparkling.”
With a new band mate, a new sound, and a new album, The Grey Agents have a new lease on life and are ready to play live again. Bob Workman states, “We are starting to book shows now, timed with the release of the album. We are ready to rock.”
