Name: Cool Treatment ● Rick Shaffer by Tarock Music
Duration: 2 min 50 s
Description: Written and produced by Shaffer, STACKED DECK continues the "sonic minimalist” blueprint of his previous solo albums. The sound combines hard fuzz guitar driven garage-blues, a blues edged two step, lazy insistent rolling beat, new colors in the harmonica and spoons style percussion, along with an unadorned and unaffected blues narrative.

With the single release of Link, Rick Shaffer, founding member of The Reds®, has now focused his talent beyond his garage rock solo albums, to boost the garage rock genre with a Link Wray, and swamp blues inspired instrumental.

Wild has a Rolling Stones loose feel rocker, mid tempo with 60's style percussion and very Jagger like vocal. Track is alternative sounding and would be good in action, drama, horror and thriller.  Wild  is track #1 on The Reds® album, Fugitives From The Laughing House.
