Forrest McDonald Band Misery and Blues Guitar Solo WC Handy Fest

Forrest McDonald Band Misery and Blues Guitar Solo WC Handy Fest Guitarist Forrest McDonald was long ago “certified blue” before he ever came up with that name for his latest CD. McDonald is a highly talented blues guitar player and songwriter who has flirted with bright light for four decades, but who prefers to live quietly in Richmond, VA. McDonald has always had a very clean approach to his guitar picking, choosing a bouncy phrasing that you might find Dickey Betts right at home with. This CD does nothing to hamper with his reputation as one of the best blues guitarists around that you’re likely not to identify. Everyone has heard his work, though. It is his guitar solo on Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock And Roll” recorded in Muscle Shoals that became part of the collective American lore when it was used in the 1983 film Risky Business. McDonald’s stinging guitar solos reach out of the speakers and grab you by the ears, forcing you to appreciate the beauty of his skills. Parnell’s horn work (and the mixing) is so good it feels like a whole section up there. All told, this group melds their talents wonderfully to bring us a great new blues CD! Favorite cuts on this thirteen track compilation are: “Turnaround Blues“ I hope you enjoyed Forrest McDonald Forrest McDonald Band Misery and Blues Guitar Solo WC Handy Fest Forrest McDonald - Guitar, Vocals Pix Ensign - Harmonica Lee Gammon - Bass Becky Wright - Vocals John Haynes - Drums Social media Forrest McDonald Website Twitter Facebook YouTube McDonald Reverb Nation Instagram: Reddit: TickToc: @forrestmcdonald621?lang=en
