December 2007 saw the release of dutch singersongwriter Eric Devries' second solo cd.
Titled "Sweet Oblivion" is recorded with his new band 'The Easy' but also contains three songs recorded in Tulsa, U.S.A.
while Devries was on tour there in the spring of 2005.
With his debut solo cd "Little of a Romeo" Eric Devries launched himself to the top of the dutch Americana/folk scene,
almost out of nowhere but not quite. At one time Eric Devries fronted "The Big Easy",
an amsterdam band reknowned for their acoustic approach towards catchy poprocktunes where Devries' songwriting skills
first became adamant. They came in second in Hollands biggest talent competion and got airplay on both national radio
as well as national tv. They toured The Netherlands and Switzerland but failed to land a record deal and quit in 1996.
Devries reinvented himself and went solo and toured the netherlands, often performing together as an acoustic singersongwriter
duo with BJ Baartmans. In 2004 Devries released his debut cd which was very well received in the alt. country / americana / folk scene.
With "Sweet Oblivion" Devries bridges the gap between his more band orientated past with his solo work of the present. With these
12 songs Devries once more proves his songwriting skills.
