Product Review

Grieves and producer Budo give you fifteen songs of sample-free, melody-driven, analog warmth. Showcasing Grieves' timeless song writing abilities, this record is a unique synthesis of live instrumentation and vintage textures that transcend genre boundaries. With themes of pain, humor, and emotional turmoil, all illustrated in Grieves' wry style, 88 Keys and Counting provides the portrait of an artist with nearly limitless potential. While self-released in 2008 and mainly a digital release, Rhymesayers will re-issue the album in anticipation of Grieves' 2010 release.
