Tony Cartmill Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Ahhhh. "Kyle & Eric"! Not the gay porn film, but a wishful dream musical collaboration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Kyle is a pretty prolific songwriter. He has released 3 cd's in the last 7 years not to mention a cd of unreleased stuff that had his version of "On the Beach" on it. As I've mentioned previously, I find his new cd "Solitary Road" to be a bit too soft and a real departure from his previous discs, but it certainly shows growth in songwriting.In my last post to him, I asked him whether he needed a publicity agent in Canada!MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Allen Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 I informed Kyle that there were numerous posts on this site referencing his music. He acknowledged that he is a huge fan of Eric's music and that we was humbled that so many diehard EC afficionados appreciated his stuff.Again -- for those who have not yet heard KV's music, treat your ears today!Bob AllenSyracuse, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Here's something further from Kyle in regard to his song "You Will Dance Again" which I had remarked sounded like somewhat like Eric.QUOTE:Didn't really have Eric in mind on 'Dance', mostly an early Elton feel I think, but I can hear the similarities with some EC stuff, maybe in the nasal vocal in places, hard to keep my influences out of any songs.

Steveh Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Tony,I bought the one called "Kyle Vincent". I especially liked Arianne, but all the songs were good. Steveh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 A few posts ago, I had mentioned about Kyle's song "5000 Heroes." Well thanks to Carolyn at Kyle's site, the song is available at: www.5000heroes.com Carolyn reminded me that Kyle's intention when he wrote this song was to have it shared. It was used in fundraising efforts put forth by the State of Nebraska. All monies gained from the song went to Families of Freedom Scholarship Fund. Otherwise, he never "sold" it. He just wanted to share it.Besides the online video (www.5000heroes.com), it can still be downloaded on his page at mp3.com (www.mp3.com/kylevincent)Enjoy!MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Marvin, This new "Solitary Road" CD is not growing on me like I thought it would from the snipets on his website. I like his 1997 CD better.I'll give it a couple of more spins...Eric is still the superior composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Tony at first listen I too was disappointed with "SR", it is too soft for my tastes. Since then, I've given it a few more spins and have grown to like it much more. I also don't think it's as strong as Kyle's previous releases, but give it a chance. It is a much more 'grown-up' album.MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 You're right Marvin. It is still growing on me.I like the way K.V. answers his messages on his board. He takes time for his fans. Here on E.C. we wait 2-3 months to get one long question answered about Eric's old guitars. Seems like a little letdown. Bernie and we deserve more.

marvin Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Kyle does seem to spend a lot of time on his website. As far as Eric's 'guitar' reply goes, personally I was enthralled by his message but that's probably because I'm a closet guitar enthusiast.MARVIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Yes, very detailed answer with pictures. But it is still one question answered in at least 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 OK, "Solitary Road" has grown on me some more. It is about as good as Carmen's weakest effort "Change of Heart". It bothers me that the best song on the CD, "You Will Dance Again" is too short. No bridge/instrumental, no 3rd verse, 3rd chorus. Damn it Kyle!

Tony Cartmill Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Marvin, and any other Kyle fan. go over to Kyle's Board and answer his homework question. He's up to something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew C. Clark Posted May 31, 2003 Author Share Posted May 31, 2003 I got the Ice Magazine in the mail Thursday & Kyle's latest CD "Solitary Road" on Songtree will hit the CD shelves on Tuesday, June 24. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted June 3, 2003 Share Posted June 3, 2003 That's a version 2 of the same CD I bought 3 months ago. 1 new song added...It's nice to see Kyle get a national release in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M454K0 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Arianne is my favorite! I was lucky to see him live last year. It was very heartwarming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Cartmill Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 "Arianne" is still my "fave" (as Kyle would say) too. "Merry Go Round" is gut-wrenchingly beautiful from his 2005 CD "Don't You Know""Never Say Die" has one slick killer chorus... Kyle is GREAT!

marvin Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Marvin, Tony, AnyoneWhat is your favorite Kyle Vincent TUNE? Well to name four: "Arianne", "She's Top 40", "Jennifer", "Wake Me Up..." Many others. Kyle has an ear for writing catchy tunes, but like I mentioned to him recently, "more uptempo, less ballads!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty impressive top four, Marv! I would also add "Next Time We'll Go Crazy" and "One Good Reason" to those as my favorites.

Tony Cartmill Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So many quality songs from that 1997 CD. Too bad it was recorded so tinny... Kyle must have been listening to the first 3 Raspberries albums too much around that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
