"Born With the Blues”, the excellent, long out-of-print, debut studio disc by outstanding blues/rock guitarist CHRIS AARON, features 11 songs (51 minutes) of superb, top-shelf, amazingly solid blues/rock riffage that stands tall with the best of them. A dynamic, diverse, mature blues/rock heavy guitar disc full of depth, soul and blues power.
Hailing from the mid-west but sounding like he was born and raised in Austin, Chris Aaron is an awesome stratmaster who plays the guitar with style, class & passion like a true, professional, seasoned blues/rock veteran. In staying true to the disc “title” , Aaron was definitely “Born With The Blues”. He is the real deal and his playing is right up there with the best of them. Complete with killer bluesy heavy guitar riffage, smokin’ hot licks and awesome, clean, soulful, bluesy vocals supplied by the excellent vox talents of Erik Edwards, the “Born With The Blues” disc also features the stand-out powerhouse drumming of Bill Lordan (Robin Trower) who adds his special touch to the disc. In paying homage to brother Trower, the Chris Aaron: “Born With The Blues” disc features an incredible 8 minute studio jam version of “Bridge Of Sighs” to wind out the disc in fine blues/ rock heavy guitar power trio fashion. As an added Bonus, the “Born With The Blues” Grooveyard Records re-issue disc also includes an awesome Bonus Track in the form of a rare, unreleased, amazing “live in the studio” acoustic version of the “title” track featuring the ever-amazing Corey Sterling (Kenny Wayne Shepherd) on vocals. This phenomenal track is the perfect way to end this Classic, timeless, exceptional blues/rock guitar disc. “Born With The Blues” has finally landed.
"Born With the Blues" is an awesome blues/rock guitar disc that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD, ROBIN TROWER, INDIGENOUS, WALTER TROUT, CHRIS DUARTE, JOE BONAMASSA, BUDDAHEADS, CRAIG ERICKSON, TONY SPINNER, SCARLET RUNNER, PHILIP SAYCE and other outstanding blues/rock axeslingers who know what time of day it is when it comes down to serious bluesy heavy guitar music. And fans of the 3 other awesome CHRIS AARON discs: “Freedom 5 Miles”, “Get Off” & “American Standard” will definitely dig the awesome “Born With The Blues” disc.
Complete with a strong emphasis on "real" songs and talent, there is something here for anybody who digs top-shelf blues/rock guitar magic. Definitely a keeper for your music collection, tune into this highly entertaining, solid, blues/rock guitar “musical ride” from the Grooveyard.
OFFICIAL BIO
Growing up on 60s and 70s music, Chris Aaron was honored to play with many of his idols: people like Ray Charles, George Thorogood, BB King, Libba Cotton, Buddy Guy, Keb Mo, Koko Taylor, Jimmie Vaughan, Jonny Lang, W.C. Clark, Pat MacDonald, and Jackson Browne. His distinctive music follows in the tradition of those who influenced him: BB King, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hook, W.C. Clark, Stevie Ray Vaughan and his studio mentor Chris Shepard.
Chris’ musical lineage can be traced geographically and historically through his family like finely woven threads. As a child he listened to music daily from a mom who was a songwriter and performer. She was a product of church hymns, folk music, the 60′s explosion and the British Invasion, and passed the flavor of all that music to her son. Acoustic performers gave live concerts right in the house where he grew up. Even his grandfather was a jazz musician playing saxophone and singing with a big band. Music was as natural as breathing for the young Chris Aaron.
Exposed to the ideals of a rich musical era, Chris heard live music at folk festivals and concerts, marches and environmental gatherings–places where music held the “happenin” together. Immersed in Native American music while his mom taught on the Menominee Reservation, Chris heard the powerful music of native drummers and saw and felt the exquisite dancing, color, and energy of the powwow.
Chris absorbed that power and melded it, along with other musical flavors, into his own music. From the start, he worked to create a world honoring music and the people who make it and those who listen. While his musical heritage shows a plentiful past, Chris’s music is all about the future. Full of soul and feeling and longing, Chris’ music moves listeners forward. His singular goal is to write, play and produce music that is timeless and touching, eternal and enduring.
Catch a Chris Aaron performance and you will be changed.
