Albert Bashor's time has come. Possessing an inviting vocal delivery that renders a listener warm the second he opens his mouth and uncommon songwriting skill that sometimes comes laced with a dollop of wry, offbeat humor, Albert's resume doesn't read a whole lot like anyone else's. He started out singing rock and roll and playing guitar as a teenager, traveled the globe as drummer for one of the most bizarre rock bands of the 1970s, and recorded as a sideman with a passel of blues legends. Now Albert is prepared to launch his solo career by donning his guitar and arming himself with a sheaf of well-conceived originals solidly rooted in the blues, yet rock, soul, and folk elements.
