What they are saying about "GET
WAY BACK"
|
"Garrett might have met his perfect
match on this tribute to singer-songwriter Percy Mayfield. Amos Garrett's
guitar work is a soulful blend of elegant rhythmic attack and scintillating
lead lines. He has a way of turning the normal into the improbable,
kind of like changing the rules of algebra, but they still work.Performing
Mayfield's music, he sneaks up on the emotions of the song's with a
weathered voice that feels like it's coming from a favorite friend.Get
Way Back is one of those albums that just had to be made, but still
is a swinging suprise."

"Besides booming, forceful baritone
and teeming guitar solos and riffs,Garrett's adaptations are fortified
by excellent horn section arrangements from Dave Babcock, and some stirring
keyboard and organ contributions from Ken Whiteley and Ron Casat.Garrett's
versions never lose either the flavor or the impact that their creator
envisioned."
-- Nashville City Paper -- May 2/08

|
"Garrett's smooth baritone voice,
his sublime guitar playing and superb band arrangements are a perfect
fit for the masterful songs of Percy Mayfield, "the poet laureate
of the blues."
-- Montreal Gazette -- May 15/08

|
"Garrett,an Alberta transplant
from Detroit via T.O. and Montreal, has arguably made the best record
of a damn good (and long) career,paying homage to Percy Mayfield with
suitably understated delivery and big time blues chops."
-- Calgary Herald -- May 9/08
|
|
"Get Way Back is
such a masterpiece and powerful musical statement that it leads listeners
to think the marriage of Garrett's multiple gifts and Mayfield's wondrous
songbook was determined by some otherworldly force."
Edmonton Journal -- May 3/08
|
|
" Amos Garrett has completed a
stirring tribute to one of the best loved and most prolific writers
in all of blues.Get Way Back may well be the masterpiece in Amos' long
and storied career!" Until next time...
Don and Sheryl Crow.-- Music

Amos has a new instructional DVD
out!
In this master class for the intermediate/advanced guitar player, Amos generously shares the knowledge he has acquired over the years. He takes his version of the Santo and Johnny classic, Sleepwalk, and teaches the bends and licks he uses for that song in a clear, concise manner. Then, he takes each bend and teaches how to incorporate them into your playing and how they work over various chords. This is the ultimate Amos Garrett lesson!
