ZAC HARMON
“RIGHT MAN
RIGHT NOW”
Zac Harmon is an award-winning guitarist, organist, singer, and songwriter
whose distinctive style combines the best of old-school soul-blues
artists with modern lyrics and themes that bring the blues into a new
century.
|
Right Man Right
Now
is contemporary music that proves just how alive and relevant the blues is
today. Addressing issues straight from today’s headlines, Zac
presents them in a fresh original style built on the best blues
tradition. And he has some incredibly talented musicians helping him
– guests include Bobby Rush, Lucky Peterson, Anson Funderburgh and Mike
Finnegan.
After a very successful twenty-plus year career as a songwriter and
producer in Los Angeles, where he worked with the likes of the O’Jays, the
Whispers, Evelyn “Champagne” King, Black Uhuru, and Michael
Jackson, Zac moved to Dallas to pursue his dream of becoming a top-flight
touring blues artist
The album provides definitive proof that
Zac Harmon is indeed the right man to firmly establish all that blues can
and should be right now in the second decade of the new millennium.

ANDY T – NICK NIXON BAND
“NUMBERS
MAN”
The Andy T-Nick Nixon Band displays musicianship at its highest. The
blues has a history of great partnerships, and Numbers Man offers
proof positive that Andy T and Nick Nixon belong in that select group.
|
|
Andy T’s jazz-tinged guitar style is influenced by T-Bone Walker, B.B.
King, Magic Sam, and Albert Collins among others, yet it remains his own.
The velvet-voiced Nixon, part of Nashville’s thriving blues and R&B
scene in the 60’s and 70’s, sings in a style that recalls Jimmy Witherspoon
and Billy Eckstine. Even though he’s now in his 70’s, Nixon’s voice still
has all the power and energy of a man half his age and it’s crystal clear
that this man was born to sing the blues.
Combined with Andy T’s bold, vibrant tones and equally rooted guitar style,
it makes for a uniquely satisfying brand of soulful blues. Numbers Man was
produced by renowned Texas guitarist Anson Funderburgh, and features the
great Kim Wilson’s harmonica on one of the tracks.
