“You Lied”(feat. Bernard Purdie)
First single from the Chris Bergson Band’s New Album
COMFORTS OF HOME
“You Lied,” the first single from the Chris Bergson Band’s new album Comforts of Home, features legendary drummer Bernard Purdie, acclaimed pianist Dave Keyes, and longtime bassist Matt Clohesy. The live-in-the-studio track features a funky New Orleans groove, the perfect complement to Bergson’s fiery guitar and gritty blend of New York blues and soul. Purdie said of the session, “It was dynamite! I was thrilled. It doesn’t happen all the time, but when it does, it does.”
