8th & Ivory is the alias of singer songwriter Devin Louis Gore. The Great Depression is a collection of songs about the artists life experiences in a very raw and honest way. Songs like "The Wait" take you through a chilling story of coming to terms with death and songs like "Hookers & Hypicrites" ,oddly enough, paint a picture of a beautiful love story. Regardless of the topic, you will find yourself drawn to the emotion in the music. The Great Depression is an album that invites the listener into a conversation; a conversation about life and struggles but also the will to live to tell its stories. The soundtrack to the unfolding story has rich and thick electric guitar tones with gut wrenching, yet delicat vocals. You'll have a hard time placing it in a genre but will find yourself wanting more.
