Review

Rolling Stone (3/18/93, p.40) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...Their sound is a matter of refinement and a determination to fuse melodies with the psychedelic power blues of Cream and other heavy-mannered trip-rock antecedents..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/26/93, p.81) - "...their tight little countrified rock songs sound wise and assured..." - Rating: A-
Q (6/93, p.102) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...full of surprises, most of them good, not least the recruitment of that ancient skin slapper, Ginger Baker...What it all means is anybody's guess, but it's one of those rare rock albums that actually challenges expectations..."
Down Beat (5/93, pp.34-36) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Baker's uniquely rumbling pulse allies beautifully with the group's limber power-trio antics...the gutsy retro folk-blues-rock material benefits from his input..."
Melody Maker (5/22/93, p.29) - "...Masters Of Reality are consummate blues rock classicists..."
Musician (3/93, p.91) - "...more or less amazing...SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS is the best rock album I've heard in this young decade...the band is at its best playing with that most deceptively simple of all musical structures, the blues..."
Audio Magazine (6/93, p.83) - "...the band shows experimental and compositional virtues that definitely harken back to another age....the grooves on `T.U.S.A' and `J.B.'s Witchdance' are infectious, with Baker's drumming at its best...."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/01/04, p.56) - Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "[Masters of Reality] influenced subsequent generations of stoner rock acts...[SUNRISE] remains fresh and inspired."

Title Note

Masters Of Reality: Chris Goss (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Googe (bass, background vocals); Ginger Baker (drums, cymbals, background vocals).

Additional personnel: Daniel Rey (guitar); Sineon Pillich (cello); John "J.R." Russo (harmonica); Ron Jeffries (piano).

Recorded at Sound City, Skip Saylor, Hollywood Sound, Echo Park and Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, California.

With SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS, the Masters Of Reality look back at the golden age of late '60s-early '70s rock with great affection. With a clear sense of what is borrowed and what is new, they revel in classic rock elements, without wallowing in worn-out cliches.

The Masters Of Reality recognize that guitars, bass and live acoustic drums are the heart of rock's sound, and the blues are its soul. The production of SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS is spare and forceful, the songs taut and uncluttered. Chris Goss' rolling guitar chords and concise solo breaks frame his Doors-like vocals in powerful riffs reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and Cream ("Gimme Water," "100 Years," "V.H.V" and "She Got Me").

And thanks to the presence of drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Googe, each song has a characteristically rhythmic hook to draw listeners in. Especially on songs like the blues-house mix of "Rabbit One," the dancing southern rock of "Tilt-A-Whirl" and Ginger's humorous rap on "T.U.S.A." But Goss, Googe and Baker have much more than hard rock on their minds, with echoes of the ABBEY ROAD Beatles animating "Rolling Green" and "Ants In The Kitchen," while Goss' ballad "Jody Sings" is as tender and finely crafted a love song as anything this side of Paul McCartney.
