Son is a unique slide quitar player. Taking old school Delta blues, Rock n Roll, Soul, R&B and Country, mixing it all together, then adding his manic style of playing and creating a sound that's old and new at the same time. You hear him play his Dobro with heavy hand and lightening quick sliding and finger picking and at times it even sounds like two people playing. This recording, "Soul, Truth and the Bottom Line" was recorded live in the studio, just Son and his guitar. It's harsh and raw and it's got a lot of up! Songs like "Drunkt Up Motor Mouth," "Hello Yello" and "You's Fine" prove that fact. Then you have the loneliness of "Tone of the Prison Wall" which can put you right in the cellblock. "Interstate Love Affair" and "Texas Rock n Roll" are straight ahead rockers Son likes to call "highway drinkin' music." Then there's "Payroll" and "C-Ya" and three select covers and you got one solid album. Son is from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He has played about every kind of music, slidin' through different bands in the area. But it's his solo projects that keep him going. This is his first full on acoustic outing and this is the path he's been working to. Son says. "Ain't many gigs round Lauderdale for a solo acoustic slide player playing blues and such, so I guess it's time to hit the road." And hopefully that's what the future will hold. Son's previous releases include: Thrashin' Blues with Violent Playground 1989 Diggin' the Groove w/ Mox Nix 1993 Between a Rock and a Blues Place 1999 Check out the artist's website: http://www.mojoshred.com Track List: 1.
