“His confidence in performance tells the tale of a man that has no need to prove himself, what you see is what you get, and with no airs and graces, he does exactly that, right in front of your eyes from centre stage. Bob hones his style to one of his own creation, giving us a unique twist on “Alternative Country”, where he speaks of not only the heart and soul, but real life situations, experiences and observations giving us a first-hand view into the life of a true professional.” - Ian Davies

the ALBUM "AMERICAN DREAM"

Bob Spring – New Album «American Dream»

 

Swiss-Italo-American dark country singer-songwriter Bob Spring, who was born in Zug and lives in Zurich, has released a unique concept album called “American Dream”. Why "American Dream"?

Bob Spring: “The title has nothing to do with disguised patriotism and should be understood much more as a metaphor and not as a political statement. Social injustice is more obvious in the States than it is here in Switzerland and I think we should be very careful not to let it get as far as in the USA. The album is also about making it clear what a paralyzing loneliness and disregard spreads with the dying of hope for a fair, just world. "

Musically, “American Dream” is a true handmade record with a lot of dings, dongs and rough edges. Despite the unexcited dark country and junk blues sound, there is never a lack of authenticity, honesty and attitude.

I want to make one thing clear; This album, its title and the artwork shouldn’t be seen as a patriotic statement, neither as a provocation. Actually, I first wanted to turn the flag upside-down to avoid any kind of misinterpretation, though, that wouldn’t be the right message either since I believe in the “other America”, the multicultural, tolerant, fair, caring and independent. It might sound naive but I don’t want to give up this dream of a better world, where each individual and its individuality are appreciated as what they are, where social injustice doesn’t exist, where money can’t buy politics or justice, where the strong strengthen the weak, where intolerance has been revealed as the poison it is to any kind of community and/or society. Still, these are only my personal thoughts and I’m not here to blame anyone. My experiences in the United states, good and bad ones, inspired me to write these songs, most of them as I was on tour going from Coast to Coast. And now, in the year 2020, looking at all the protests and riots in the streets, they seem to make more sense than ever before. Wisdom begins with wonder and understanding with self-reflection. In history, Fear, greed and hate never led to anything else but agony. And yes, many more Tyrants will come and put human civility to an acid test, and we all will have to dig our heels in. Remember, we don’t serve the government, the government is supposed to serve us! We, the people, Have the power and every now and then in history, we have to remind the leaders, who calls the shots.
