Always nice to discover those hard working musicians that really you don’t know why you have not heard of them before and that’s the case with Ash Gray. ‘Once I Got Burned is his debut solo album but much like a Danny Wilson of Danny Champions of the Word fame, Ash has a long musical history and has been pumping out great music for many years either as part of The High Class Butchers or Ash Gray & The Girls.
New York and Austin were the locations for the recording of the new album and the record certainly drips of the wide expanse of the U.S. An ideal album for a road trip or just some down-time listening. Country, Blues, Americana and on ‘55’ some pure Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers blast out of the speakers.
A clean sound on the album from first rate musicians and plenty of variety in sound, pace and storylines on the LP.
Now based in the UK in Sheffield we will hopefully be in line for some gigs this summer, because this is an album that would be perfect for a hot summer night gig.
