"This is classic rock and blues, all soulful and
gritty. Al’s voice, throaty and raw, is masculinity defined."Kirby Raine,
Shotgun Reviews
Oregon-based rock and bluesman Big Al Carter continues to
stockpile rave reviews and Triple A radio airplay nationwide. With a killer debut album, Soul Blue, that electrifies with an authentic
rock & roll heart as well as a vintage blues spirit. Big Al is on the verge
of becoming, well, bigger. Before stardom hits, Big Al gave
CDReviews.com the opportunity to peek into his guitar case."
Michael Sutton, CDReviews.com, Interview
"One thing is for sure, Big Al has quite the voice.
Unlike other modern rock and blues musicians who try to ape the gravelly
passion of their ancestors, Big Al can actually summon the 3 a.m. emotions of
the greats. And, that my friend, is not hype; it is the shattering truth."
Adam Harrington, Whisperin & Hollerin, UK....
"Sensational vocals, rhythmic guitar and vibrant stage
presence."
Greg Johnson, President Cascade Blues Association, Portland, Oregon....
A big voice. A big show. That’s BIG AL CARTER. He is one of
the freshest, most original and highest energy showmen to emerge on the music
scene in many years. His stage charisma and presence are not only taking Portland, but the international music scene by storm. With his raw power and appeal,
audiences and listeners are drawn to to his sound and energy both live on stage
and on his CD’s. Rooted in the Portland blues scene, BIG AL has developed a
unique sound that includes both a soulful and hard rockin’ flavor at the same
time. Not limited by just the blues, BIG AL incorporates rock, swing, gospel
and most importantly soul into his sound. A band of some of the highest caliber
hired-gun musicians in the Pacific Northwest musically support him. Add in his
natural charismatic stage personality and energy and you have a musical and
show product that is irresistible! Vocalist, frontman and rhythm guitarist,
BIG AL also plays the blues harmonica and even a Jew’s harp. A guitar player
since the age of eight, BIG AL cut his teeth in the entertainment industry
playing and fronting for numerous rock bands around the San Francisco area in
the 80’s performing everything from Neil Young to 80’s big hair bands. In the
90’s he developed a vocal style with a cross of Rod Stewart and Bob Seger with
a blues feel. He fronted several more rock bands always playing rhythm guitar,
harmonica and singing. His first CD "Soul Blue" has been getting air
play nationally along with indie and college radio stations and international
stations in European markets such as Poland, Belgium and France. Magazine reviews have provided strong endorsements of his musical power and
charisma.
The new songs posted are VERY SEXY with titles like"Won’t Be
Satisfied", "Itch (I Can’t Scratch)" and "She’s The
Boss". .. Enjoy...
