A Tribute to LJK

Eric Gales' time is now. A rule-breaking, genre-fusing force of nature, hailed by giants like Joe Bonamassa, Dave Navarro and Mark Tremonti as one of the best guitarists on the planet, you'll find the Memphis blues-rocker's thumbprint on everything from his Grammy-nominated solo catalogue to the soundtrack of director Ryan Coogler's smash-hit horror movie, Sinners. But while Gales' latest release, Tribute To LJK, is a thrillingly modern record for the here-and-now, it's also a nod to his bloodline and the roots of his family tree. "I wanted it to be the ultimate tribute to my late brother, Little Jimmy King, to keep his memory alive and make sure people remember who he was and still is," says Gales. "I wanted to deliver his tunes to the world, through my eyes. And I wanted it to be badass - and that's exactly how it turned out."
