CD:
"A New Leaf"
Critically Acclaimed Brand New Release
Item #2005
"The
best blues-based CD I have ever heard, including all the
classic blues recordings. There is always some
deficiency in all records, but not in this one.
Listening to "A New Leaf" from beginning
to end is truly a musical experience." -
Ron Baisden, Blue Rapture
"A
powerful, polished and fresh original release.
Atomic-powered roots music, somewhere between classic
rock 'n' roll and Chicago blues. Vibrant remakes
and superb originals." -
Aaron Crawford, Loafer Magazine
"A
stellar release - "A New Leaf" shines as
bright and bold as autumn colors. Contains so many great
cuts, it's hard to single out one or two as
standouts."
- Joe Tennis, Bristol Herald Courier
"Tennessee’s
Lightnin’ Charlie proves a versatile guitarist and a
smooth singer on a 'A New Leaf'. Musicians will dig his
range of punchy tones, and most listeners will enjoy the
way he and his band (and engineer) blur distinctions
between vintage and modern. Top-notch material - A
PLUS!!!" -
Blues Revue
"*****
(Five
Stars) This
is a wonderful collection of covers played with style
and attitude. If this won't get your party going, call
it a wake. Charlie is a very good guitarist that
delivers on every track and in many styles without
resorting to mindless noodling. There is hardly a wasted
note. If you are into BLUES / ROCK or the guitar, this
is a no brainer. You will not be disappointed." -
Hans D. Harms, Amazon.com
"*****
(Five
Stars) Lightnin' Charlie Delivers! Charlie
puts on a very energetic blues/rock ‘n’ roll set
live and he does the same in the studio! I lean more
toward his raw bluesy stuff, but his rockabilly sound is
well done too. It's not all about his guitar playing
either - Charlie has an infectious voice! Honestly, I
don't think I've quite heard anyone like him. If you
like blues, traditional rock ’n’ roll, and little
rockabilly for good measure, then check out 'A New
Leaf' by Lightnin' Charlie." -
Ghost In The Ruins, Amazon.com
"*****
(Five
Stars)
I
recently got a copy of 'A New Leaf'. I normally listen
to jazz and fusion but Lightning Charlie's album is
sterling. His fusion of blues, rock and rockabilly is
flawless. The production values of his album are
excellent. The fact that he co-produced speaks well of
his skills. Anyone who enjoys blues, rockabilly and the
combination of the two will enjoy this album. My
personal favorite is cut #6, 'Just A Little Bit'.
Charlie...you struck gold with your bluesy
lightning!" - Dr. Jazz, Amazon.com
"Rockin'
swamp blues and rock 'n' roll just as I like it.
Lightnin' Charlie's 'A New Leaf' doesn't have a weak
song on it. Can't wait for his next CD."

Alumni of Muddy Waters Band
“This
band tackles everything from Muddy Waters, Slim Harpo,
and Magic Sam to Solomon Burke and does so in a way that
pays homage to these greats without resorting to slavish
imitation and with a raw and infectious energy that’s
hard to resist. Charlie imbues every track with the
power and instinctive feeling of someone who has a
natural rapport with the genre. A must for all major
blues festivals.” - Blues and Rhythm
