Color Three – Paint By Number (2013)

FrontGary Pihl, Kimberley Dahme and Jeff Neal met as members of the band Boston and the three of them were asked to perform at a charity benefit. Color Three was born from that opportunity to help others, and to write, record and perform for charitable causes.
This album of 13 songs sounds more like early Pretenders with Kimberley’s rich contralto on most of the lead vocals rather than a Boston album. Sparse and raw with just one guitar, bass and drums, Paint By Number tells stories of hope and deliverance as told by those who have been there and back. There are no guitar solos on this record, it’s just as the band performs, three instruments and three part vocal harmonies.
