Jerry Cole - Astro-Sounds From Beyond The Year 2000 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Tower of Power guitarist and vocalist Jerry Cortez's solo album. His funky rhythm and blazing leads earned him compliments from Tower of Power fans and music critics worldwide. A seasoned professional, Jerry toured and recorded with artists including Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston, Jessie Colin Young, Buddy Miles, Alex Ligertwood, and many others. 6 years since his last album 'American Invasion', the talented Jerry Cortez releases a new studio album 'From The Ground Up', recorded all the way from Nashville's famed recording studios Sony/Tree Studio and Ocean Way Studio. Unlike his former cover albums, this solo instrumental album demonstrates the best of Cortez's unique, soulful guitar style. Playing true to his fashion, Jerry Cortez chose a range of vibrant songs and elevates the acoustic beats with his remarkable musicianship, featuring his best-received interpretation of Carlos Santana's Black Magic Woman.

Sonny & the Sunsets' Antenna to the Afterworld is a fast-moving record of New Wave synths and Post Punk beats. The murder of a close friend of the band led Smith to think a lot about death and life after death. Shortly after, a visit to a psychic/medium brought Smith into contact with another friend who had died. This encounter with the afterworld inspired many of the lyrics on the Sonny & the Sunsets' record. And what a strangely entertaining odyssey it turned out to be. Album Tracks 1. Dark Corners 2.
