Forsyth recalls coming home from high school to listen to blues great Robert Johnson and vintage blues collections on Yazoo Records:”It was different from anything I’d heard. It was magical and very real and dark and sticky and pungent. Forsyth is making his own sticky music these days. It isn’t blues per se. He isn’t trying to reproduce his influences. Forsyth is a singer-songwriter who aims for the authenticity of the older greats. “I’m still a white kid from the suburbs and that tragically will never change” says Forsyth with a slight laugh.

You could get the horn section from Chicago to drop in for a guest session. The Bee Gees Crosby Stills and Nash and Bob Seger played basketball in the parking lot. Duane Allman would hang out on the couch in the lobby playing blues on an old guitar. People exchanged licks and ideas in a casual way that is hard to imagine in today’s hypercompetitive chart- and cost-conscious music world. “It was a creative period when creativity was respected” says Albhy Galuten a musician producer and songwriter who started as Dowd’s assistant in 1970 and went on to produce some of the Bee Gees’ biggest hits including Saturday Night Fever. Galuten played piano on Clapton’s Layla album (although not the famed title track) and synthesizer for Peter Tosh’s Legalize It. After fellow producer Alex Atkins who was working with the then-new genre of reggae turned Galuten on to Bob Marley Galuten played I Shot the Sheriff for Clapton — who went on to record it… “In 2007 it’s sing it one time I’m going to dinner fix it and let me know how it comes out. So someone sits there and manipulates the sound and two hours later the artist comes back — wow that sounds really good I’m really great. Whereas the groundbreaking music the soundtrack to your life a lot of that was done with great pains. But the five decades of gold and platinum records that line Criteria’s walls still reverberate for some — whether practically or creatively. “You never know who you’ll run into here” says Fabian Marasciullo a top mixer who has worked for Celine Dion and Chris Brown. In an age when technology and taste allow someone to make a hit record in the bedroom massively expensive facilities like Criteria are increasingly rare. Yet for every artist who regards Aretha Franklin and Eric Clapton as music for their grandparents there are others who still want to tap into Criteria’s collective pop consciousness to add their take to its long soundtrack of life.
