By My Riverside

Jon Middleton and Roy Vizer each brought something new to the sessions for Riverside,

their sixth recording as the acclaimed roots/folk rock band Jon and Roy. Vizer, a trained percussionist, treated himself to a traditional drum set — not his typical studio path. “I put down the hand drums completely,” he said. “This was us trying to push it a little bit.”

Middleton also went off script, using a semi-acoustic guitar. He played the vintage 1947 Gibson L4 hollow body during each of the seven songs on Riverside, eschewing an acoustic guitar for the first time ever on a Jon and Roy recording.
