A s you look out the window, you catch yourself wondering what it would be like to live there. A debut C D by the Brock Davis Band. The River Runs Fast, The River Runs Deep, answers that question with strong images of the West Coast and Fraser Valley regions. Brock Davis leads a band of locally based musicians in songs o f inspiration (which have echoes of gospel music) about a philosophy that says a life that seems so complicated can be so simple. His powerful and authoritative voice brings to life the honest and intense emotions within the heartfelt lyrics. Davis believes in writing about personal experiences, and growing up in Maple Ridge has a major influence in his work. He relates how this booming mill town is becoming a bedroom community--a trend in many towns on the outskirts of major urban centres. H i s roots are evident in the ballad " R i v e r Song" when he refers to the Fraser River as the "big brown Fraser" laden with logs. He likens the river to "the current of time which carried us away from where we were, never to return" in the up-beat song "Every Heartbeat." Other prevailing images of a small town arise in the songs "Rusted Cars." "Labor Day Fair" and the highly emotional song "Silver Seeds" in which Davis professes "the healing power of grief." Davis uses these images in metaphors of pursuing one's dreams. Davis is backed by two North Shore residents, guitarist Robbie Steininger and bassist Brian Newcomhc. along with Jerry Adolphe on drums and Robbie K i n g on organ.
