Kevin Gilbert, 1966-1996

Kevin Gilbert Artist Profile

Overview: Born: Kevin Matthew Gilbert Date: November 20, 1966 Where: Scotch Plains, New Jersey Died: May 17, 1996 Where: Eagle Rock, California Known As: synth-pop/neo-progressive rock singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist “Sometimes genius comes and goes without much notice or fanfare. Such is the case with the late Kevin Gilbert,” P “a musical prodigy” SF who “colleagues invariably called…‘the most talented musician I ever met.’” SF This little-known performer ranks as one of my favorite singers. When he died, he “left behind enormous unanswered questions about his potential.” SF Kevin “Gilbert was a moderately important figure in Californian rock music in the 1980’s and 1990’s.” DN “He was an accomplished instrumentalist and composer, who played keyboards, guitars, drums, bass and cellos, as well as singing vocals. His talents also extended to producer.” WK He “spent several years on the edge of stardom [but] could never capitalize on his talents.” DV He “might be the most talented American musician to be involved with progressive rock, with the possible exception of Frank Zappa. Although all of his work contains a very strong pop element, there’s usually a lot of prog underneath it.” DN I have said that if I were a musician, Kevin Gilbert best represents the kind of music I would want to make. His lyrics go beyond clichéd love songs and are infused with witticism. His musicianship showcase the tireless hours he spent in the studio perfecting his craft. It was a shame to lose such an astonishing talent at 29. His work, however, lives on and for those uninitiated in his music, I hope this post leads you down the same musical journey where KG’s music has taken me.

The memories below are my best guesses about a long-ago time. I hope they offer you insight into a few songs that were never recorded in the studio.” “City on the Hill and Crooked Mile were some of our earliest musical ideas that came together the night we met in Tim Dunn’s barn after I auditioned Kevin for NRG. We hung out for hours beyond the audition (which lasted about 5 minutes once Kevin revealed his unusual talent at age 14). We spent that first evening trading musical bits into my cassette 2-track. These songs began to come together that night. It’s pretty easy to tell whose stuff was whose. My parts tend to be the verse guitar hooks and Kevin often created the choruses and bridges with his unique chord changes, harmonies, rhythms, and synth sounds on his brand new Prophet 5. Most of what we wrote was then complimented by Kevin’s lyrics.” “Tongue ‘N Cheek was a later collaboration. It was only after much exposure to the likes of Gentle Giant, Saga, Fripp/King Crimson, and UK et al that I began to experiment with guitar ideas like you hear here. I remember the opening hook as my attempt to learn to play like Fripp. Kevin added the odd timed conclusions to each of the segue lines commenting that it would be like Eddie Jobson, ‘just pick a chord and then play any unrelated bass note under it!’ A solo from Kev, then a return to the hook. It was obviously incomplete.” “I both smile and cringe when I hear this live gig. We were so young, wide-eyed and earnest. We were pretty nervous and rushed everything. But for a bunch of kids a decade younger than almost everyone else on the bill that night. I smile remembering how cool it was to be there – imagining that we might be rock stars one day. Kevin certainly delivered on that count. Maybe not a star in a typical commercial fashion, but a deep, honest star for so many of us.” – Jason Hubbard, 2022 Tracks Not on Previously Noted Albums: City on the Hill D, LK, BJ Crooked Mile LK, BJ Tongue ‘N Cheek LK

Sorey wrote the following liner notes: “Beer Jam II was 1986. We were at Sensa to redo the drum tracks for Mephisto and a couple other songs.” “Firth of Fifth: I told Kevin I’d been listening to Seconds Out by Genesis and he said, ‘I know it,’ so we got some beer and ya!” “The Only Thing She Needs: We performed this in a cover band called In Color with some other guys back in the late ‘80s. We did some Heart – it was this weird cover band! We played two shows at the Keystone in Palo Alto. It was pretty hilarious.” “UK Suite: Kevin turned me on to UK’s Danger Money and it has been my favorite album ever!! It sucks that it’s out of print. Anyhoo, I hope Bozzio & Jobson never hear my attempt at this. I think I can play it now!” “Masques: This is my favorite song we ever recorded (next to ‘Mephisto’s Tarantella’). I never got a chance to re-record the drums when it was left off the album.” “City on the Hill: This was a new song that was in the direction Kevin wanted to go. I never really figured it out. It wasn’t really his style. Kevin was just starting to go more commercial and less progressive…bummer. I really liked the stuff he wrote when he didn’t care about the ‘business.’” “Crooked Mile: I kinda worked on some parts for this & we played it live once.” Tracks Not on Previously Noted Albums: Firth of Fifth BJ The Only Thing She Needs BJ UK Suite (Rendezvous 6:02 – Danger Money – Caesar’s Palace Blues) BJ

About the Album: In 1992, Gilbert and Bill Bottrell, who’d produced the Toy Matinee album, assembled a loose collective of musicians dubbed the Tuesday Night Music Club.

Gilbert had co-writing credit on many of the the song’s albums, including 1995 Grammy Record of the Year All I Wanna Do. “Crow later acrimoniously split with most of the musicians in the collective…[The rest of the TNMC’ers] worked with singer-songwriters Susanna Hoffs and Linda Perry on two more albums.” WK Go to the DMDB page for more about this album.
