With over 30 years and 18 albums to his name, Eric Gales is a true maverick of the blues. His passion for the music and his unwavering desire to keep it alive never faltered, even when his own light dimmed due to his struggles with addiction.
"Crown," the blues-rock guitarist's new album, is undoubtedly a career-defining moment! Produced by Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith, "Crown" allows Eric to open up and flourish like never before. He is finally free to share his battles with addiction, his hopes for a new era of sobriety and unbridled creativity, and his personal reflections on racism. Forged from five years of sobriety, creative rejuvenation, and newfound insight, the songs on "Crown" are delivered with clarity and highlight Eric's personal experiences.
The sumptuous single "I Want My Crown" opens with a fanfare of elegant guitar virtuosity before settling into a funky groove. Clean and focused, guitar in hand, Eric confronts the mighty blues warrior Joe Bonamassa in a Rocky-esque battle. Triumphant brass stimulates the excitement as the two musicians spar with shredded blues riffs, each of their respective interventions leading us towards a fireworks-worthy finale.
