Harnessing his musical roots as a child from the 60s when bluesrock pushed its way to the front of the line, and incorporating his decades of experience as one of the most sought-after touring musicians in the business, Fistful is Slick as he’s been from the start: an artist who fully mines the depths of the blues and guitar by drawing on a toolkit assembled from blues to glam to punk to rockabilly. Released on 2 July 2021, the 11-track instrumental album is no retread retrospective of Slick’s run of 40 years as a professional guitarist; it’s an audible demonstration of a virtuoso still pushing deep into rock and roll’s blues roots. The album is acrobatics without a net. He would have it no other way. From the moment he picked up a guitar, “I’ve never wanted to do anything else.”
The band features:
