Honky-Tonkin' Electric Blues |
Blues rocker Brad Wilson submitted his self-titled
CD-R release, which features thirteen songs with
Wilson on guitar and vocals. He's joined by bassist
Brian James and drummer JJ Garcia, as well as other
musicians including Rick Brannon (guitar), Francesca
Capasso (vocals), Bruce Robb (Hammond B3) and Mario
Zamora (piano, B3). Lyrically, many of the songs
are about Wilson's travels on the road - his tours
have taken him throughout the United States many
times. This is just plain and simply great blues-rock
with Southern-fried elements, the higher tempo tracks
offering blazing, energetic leads, and all tracks
featuring Wilson's expressive, powerful throat.
You'll love the slide work on tracks such as "Rocket"
and you'll dig the Allman Brothers' influence on
"Got The Feeling". Wilson didn't pack his release
with filler - this one will hold your interest from
start to finish.
 For the last seven years, Brad has fronted the blues-rock
band, Stone. His song "Teaser," was prominently
featured in the film and soundtrack for "John
Carpenter's Vampires". BMG Records in Europe released
"Teaser" as a single. Brad also appears on the
soundtrack to John Carpenter's last film, "Ghosts
Of Mars". With legendary producer Bruce Robb at
the helm, the guitarist's stunning solo guitar
work is featured throughout the instrumental track,
"Can't Let You Go." The NBC soap opera, Passions,
has chosen numerous songs of Brad's for use in
episodes airing throughout 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003
and 2004. As session guitarist for record producers,
The Robb Brothers at LA's Cherokee Studios, during
2003 he played lead and rhythm guitar on the Vanguard
Records CD, "Still Loving You", from Robert Bradley's
Black Water Surprise.
Recently, Wilson won "Best Songwriting" at the
All Access Music Awards in Los Angeles, a prestigious
award, and the first of its kind given by this
well-known music publication.
