This CD has Tejas Hot Sauce all over it and then some!!! They say “Remember the Alamo” … I say Remember “Transformation” by Blues Rock Guitarist Extraordinaire Eric Gales. This is electrified blues music at its best without a doubt … Eric’s incredible blues licks, memorable phrasing, and lighting fast roller-coaster tickle-me runs, just light up the fret board like 4th of July fireworks. No kid’n either… His tones are biting sharp, and stinging hot with a lot of wah-wah cry-baby induced madness swirling to and fro in the mix like a devil wind look’n for a new victim to strike down. The songwriting on this is infectious, smartly played, and written from the heart. Eric is working and playing well on all fronts and on all circuits. The 50-watt fuses are riding high with exhilaration on every note of each meticulously recorded track.

With the aid of Mike Varney as co-writer, Eric’s musical focus, lyrics, music and vocals have gotten stronger with each new enjoyable sounding album from The Shrapnel-Label Group’s Blues Bureau International Label. As I listen to the tracks, the late great Albert Collins keeps coming to mind… I also hear other influence too… Strat Master Buddy Guy is another one. There are other modern greats of which this record is reminiscent such as Eric Johnson and Joe Bonamassa. However, Eric takes these other influences, throws ‘em all together and offers back a tasty, hot and spicy voodoo-blackened gumbo stew of refreshing songs.

I highly recommend this CD for Blues Rock Guitar Hero Aficionados… You know who you are… We want to know who you are too. So get online and order / download your copy Today!!!

Eric Gales Album Relentless In Stores & Online


(Click to purchase online)


Blues guitar phenom Eric Gales was born and raised in Memphis, learning to play at age four from older brothers Eugene and Manuel in imitation of their upside-down, left-handed style (a tradition actually passed down from their grandfather, Dempsey Garrett, Sr., who was known to jam with the likes of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf). Winning his first blues contest at 11, four years later Eric signed to Elektra to issue his 1991 debut LP, recorded with Eugene on bass; Picture of a Thousand Faces followed in 1993. Manuel (who previously performed under the alias Little Jimmy King) reunited with his siblings for 1995's Left Hand Band, credited to the Gales Brothers.

A newly matured Gales returned in spring 2001 to release his debut for MCA, That's What I Am. Often billed as the second coming of Jimi Hendrix, Gales, an adequate singer at best but a dynamite guitarist, suffered for the comparison. Always influenced by Hendrix and the power trio format, Gales' next albums, 2006's Crystal Vision and 2007's Psychedelic Underground, both released by Blues Bureau Records, seemed like facsimile Hendrix albums, right down to the album art. His next two releases from Blues Bureau, 2008's The Story of My Life and 2009's Layin' Down the Blues,Relentless, found the Hendrix influence muted somewhat, but Gales, a breathtaking guitarist at times, still seemed to be looking for a way out of the Hendrix shadow and into his own voice. Gales returned in 2010 with a collection of 13 originals.

Eric Gales is the "Best Blues Player of 2010!"

Our blues player of 2010 talks about his long road to get here. Gales' new album Relentless showcases an exceptional player – one who's found redemption as a musician after incarceration and substance issues. A dazzling soulful technician but this left-handed player with upside-down guitar is certainly no Hendrix clone.
