How Eric Gales isn’t the hugest name in rock guitar is a total mystery.
—Dave Navarro
Although sometimes compared with Eric Johnson, Gales’s rock style is usually much edgier, though ironically he has an amazing vocabulary with jazz chord changes when playing clean.
—Guitar World
Eric Gales is a blues firebrand. Over 30 years and 18 albums, his passion for the music and his boundless desire to keep it vital have never waned. Through it all, he has reinvigorated the art form with personal revelations in his lyrics and bold stylistic twists in his guitar playing and songwriting.
Creatively rejuvenated and sagely insightful, Gales released his masterful album Crown in 2022, which was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album. Here, Gales opens up like never before, sharing his struggles with substance abuse, his hopes for a new era of sobriety and unbridled creativity, and his personal reflections on racism. The songs are delivered with clarity and feature the guitarist’s personal experiences and hope for positive change. The record also boasts his finest singing and songwriting, and his signature guitar playing burns throughout.
