 "Throughout all fourteen tracks, the musicians that Grizzard assembled are rock-solid, consummate professionals, and Grizzard´s bass and voice fit the mix perfectly." - Indie-Music.com "This album is remarkable..." - Mobile Press Register "From the funky modern jazz tones of "3-D" to the warm lyrics of the ballad "Gabriel", Life on the Blue Dot got a little better thanks to the fine craftmanship that permeates this collection. Far from the bland stylings of studio musicians, The Electric Experiment fuses the individual artistry of each masterfully played instrument into a current, trendy sound for your ears to feast on. While pioneering the frontier of what makes a band unique, the CD manages to hold on to the feel of the familiar with bluegrassy "Checkered Past" and the trippy, aptly titled "Tomorrow's Yesterday". Whether a jazz, fusion, bluegrass, funk, rock, blues, or even electronica fan, you'll find something to love about this intelligent, hip combination of vocal and instrumental songs that will wean you off the one-hit wonders of your FM radio habit." - iTunes CD Review  (updated 8/2008) This experimental rock and roll jam band originated from bassist/singer/songwriter Christian Grizzard´s 2007 recording project, Life on the Blue Dot. Based in Music City USA, this unique four piece sonic experience blends a rock and psychedelic soul sound while showcasing memorable original material and masterful musicianship from all four corners of the stage. Taking part in this Experiment will be sure to keep your head moving even after the show is over! Co-produced by 4-time Grammy winner Trina Shoemaker, Life on the Blue Dot is a stylistically diverse 14 song collection which takes an enlightened and compelling lyrical view at life here on the blue dot. Featuring 24 musicians in all, special guests include members from The Allman Brothers Band, Wet Willie, The McCrary Sisters (Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Elvis), Big Brother & The Holding Co., Black Oak Arkansas, The Jerry Douglas Band, Bee Speed, Rollin´ in the Hay, Kung Fu Mama & Gravy.
