It’s said around Vancouver that seeing Rich Hope is an essential rite of passage. In a city that often obsesses over ephemeral trends, Hope’s explosive rock ’n’ soul man revue proved as enduring as the coastline. For over two decades, he’s filled, and sanctified, an impressive string of beloved venues, many now gone but not forgotten like the Railway Club where bar-receipts records were smashed during one of his sets. And he’s still going strong!

The album is filled with the gritty, high energy R&B-flavored garage rock that has made Hope an institution in his hometown of Vancouver. I’m All Yours finds Hope and his longtime band bassist Erik Nielsen, keyboardist Matt Kelly, and drummer Adrian Mack at their most versatile and spontaneous. They spin from the psychotically reactive “It Come Alive,” to the woolly-bullying rocker “Running Shoes,” the wired and wiry R&B rave-up “Creepstone,” and a blast of sweet country soul, “Blow Away,” that comes straight out of the Muscle Shoals playbook.  There’s the mutant, howling blues of “La Iguana” and an ecstatic rock and roller’s take on the Flamin’ Groovies’ “Golden Clouds.” 

I’m All Yours also features pedal steel genius Scott Smith who adds his weight to the innerspace-bound album closer “Heartbreaker.” It’s all the Hope you can handle, all in one place, and none too soon.
