Background notes
Archive material and source history
Eric Gales grew up in Memphis, Tennessee, where he started playing guitar as a kid. He was performing professionally by age 11, including an early appearance at the Beale Street Jazz Festival that got him noticed. People started calling him "Little Jimmy Hendrix" around that time.
In the 1990s, he put out albums like "The Eric Gales Band" and "Crystal Vision." Songs like "Carry Yourself" and "Draggin' Me Down" show his approach to blues guitar, which leans toward the heavy and soulful rather than traditional. He's kept recording since then, with albums like "Middle of the Road" in 2019 and "Crown" in 2022.
His playing has a raw, electric quality that comes through in both studio tracks and live settings. The music doesn't fit neatly into one category, it's blues that pulls from rock and soul, delivered with a lot of physical energy on the guitar.
