The Real Thing is a historical record with an unmitigated who's-who of blues and jazz players produced by Marty Grebb (The Band, Bonnie Raitt, Etta James). Pech duets with Taj Mahal on the title track, backed by Reggie McBride (Tony Bennett, Keb' Mo') on upright bass; The Band's Garth Hudson (keys, sax, accordion); James Gadson (The Temptations, Beck) and Gary Mallaber (Van Morrison, Bruce Springsteen) on drums; Peach's own drummer Maria Martinez (Barry White); sax player Cece Rubin (Diana Ross, Guns n' Roses); Paul Barrére (Little Feat), Jon Woodhead (Leon Russell), and Rick Vito (Fleetwood Mac) all on slide; guitarist Amos Garrett (Stevie Wonder, Maria Muldaur); and horn arrangement by Lee Thornburg (The Tonight Show Band, Tower of Power). "They're songs that I dug up by local songwriters that I thought were incredibly great pieces of music," explains the former U of Denver voice major, whose accompanist was Condoleezza Rice, "It's all pretty sexy music, but it's also really real." She found her voice, and here's to everyone else discovering it too. Hen House Studios is a record label and documentary film company located in Venice, California.
