T E R R Y B L E R S H - P L A Y I T A L L D A Y That’s how DOWNBEAT Magazine described Terry Blersh’s songwriting on his self-titled
debut album. He hasn’t lost a step here with his latest release, Play It All Day. Once
again, Blersh brings a lifetime of experience and a unique and wry perspective to his
wonderfully diverse songs. While rooted in the blues, like any great
songwriter, he is not confined by the form. Rhythm & Blues, Rock & Roll, Tex-Mex,
Reggae and Jazz influences all find their way into the mix. His guitar playing throughout is
unadorned. His tone is warm and expressive, his touch responsive and
dynamic. And best of all - you know it’s him. It easy to hear why Terry is considered one
of the most musical, and what we call “tasty”
guitar players in Canada. Terry's voice is warm and moving on the
Chet Baker-esq ballad “Only One”, showing a vocal reach not heard on his previous
album.

His duet with the multi-talented Jimmy Bowskill (The Sheepdogs) on Gordon
Lightfoot's classic "Early Morning Rain", earned a shout out from the composer
himself. Other highlights include three more tracks featuring these great vocalists: soul
man John Mays (Fathead), R&B/Jazz dynamo John Finley (The Checkmates, Rhinoceros),
and the soulful Quisha Wint (Jacksoul, Matt Dusk).
Self-produced and arranged, Terry has assembled some of Canada’s top musicians,
each with a specific song or feel in mind. They all deliver in spades. Masterfully
recorded and mixed by Grammy and Juno nominated Jeremy Darby (Eric Clapton, Lou
Reed) at The Canterbury Music Company, the sound is nothing less than world-class.
