Description
Although Guitar Shorty is famed in blues circles worldwide for his slashing guitar attack, soul-shout vocals and a dynamic stage show, acclaimed music writer Ron Wynn calls him "the greatest active blues guitarist and vocalist who hasn't attained his deserved measure of fame." With over 45 years of recording and literally thousands of tour dates under his belt, Shorty is a veritable blues institution whose time has come with Watch Your Back.
Here he pares his sound down to its vital, boisterous essence, excluding horns and keyboards and putting the focus squarely on his blistering fretwork and powerhouse singing. From the sizzling "Let My Guitar Do The Talking" to the forceful truths of "Old School" to a bulldozing version of Van Morrison's "I've Been Working," Shorty's infectious energy and guitar pyrotechnics are on full display.
