When you start streaming Gemini Rising, get ready for a genre-defying thrill ride. Over the course of the album’s 12 tracks, Liam Docherty zig-zags between folk, blues, funk, ballads, pop and rock. Whereas his debut album was purely acoustic, he now takes a different approach. Liam embraces the electric guitar here, using it to create an appealing yet experimental sound. He has evolved into an artist who isn’t easily classified. It contributes to his uniqueness.
On tracks like Texas and Give It Away, Liam incorporates harmonized melody lines, double-tapping solos, and emotive slides. His skilled fingerpicking on acoustic guitar shine through on the folksy Paradise Shore. Then he cranks up the overdrive for solid drumming and catchy riffs during the energetic Honey Bee. Just Me closes out the project gracefully.
Whether unplugged or amped up, Liam’s virtuosic playing and heartfelt vocals forge a personal connection with the listener. His lyrics ponder what it means to be human in today’s world. Gemini Rising reveals an artist following his inspiration wherever it may lead. So do yourself a favor and give it a spin – your musical horizons will thank you for it. Liam has delivered a album that defies expectations at every turn.
