Jim Oblon

Har man lirat med Paul Simon så
har man... Härlig version av Lucille
i baktakt på ett smockat Guitar Shop
No.1

"Jim Oblon is one of those rare talents—a jaw-dropping guitarist,
soulful singer and compelling writer. Oblon’s virtuosic Telecaster-driven
blues chops and vocals shine on a set of originals, vintage rock & roll,
and country blues. Oblon has gained national attention as guitarist, drummer,
and vocalist in Paul Simon’s band as well as for his contributions on bass,
drums and guitar to Simon’s latest album So Beautiful or So What. Always a
believer in the bigger musical picture, he aims to expound upon the legacy of
his forbearers without ever becoming an impersonator himself. “Today there’s a
‘blues scene’ with Brylcreem and bowling shirts, all the gear, but it doesn’t
have the essence of music,” Oblon explains. “I wanted to honor the people who
came before me. Maybe I can add a few of my own things, but I want to not lose
what was.” - GP
