Gwyn Ashton’s ninth studio project Sonic Blues Preachers

Gwyn Ashton’s ninth studio project Sonic Blues Preachers is a powerful
contemporary power-duo rock n roll blues album full of melodic songs
with big hooks and killer choruses. It features collaboration between
acclaimed slide guitarist Ashton and one of Australia’s most musical
drummers – the formidable John Freeman from the pre AC/DC Bon
Scott-fronted band Fraternity. I hope you like it and consider it for review.

Ashton’s latest release takes the listener on a magical slide guitar
journey of hard rockin’, heavy funkin’ greasy grooves, combined with
some darker low-tuned acoustic 12-string tracks, conjuring up images
of a bygone Mississippi delta, but still maintains his identifiable
Australian sound.

From the album’s rowdy 1, 2, 3, 4 count-in yelled into the distorted
microphonic pickups of a vintage 1960s Teisco electric guitar to the
closing mesmerising swampy tremolo bottleneck slide-fueler
Cooder-esque number ‘Waiting Game’, Sonic Blues Preachers is a mighty
powerful slab of contemporary Australian blues.

The first single Take Yourself Away has an infectious melodic pop-rock
groove with a traditional classic Australian big sing-along chorus,
guitar riff and rich vocal harmonies. Sure to be a hit!
