Merle Jagger's Debut CD "RANCHO LOS ANGELES" Available Now @ Amazon.com and other online stores
There's a modern day wild bunch shooting it out in the greater Los Angeles area, playing blistering riffs that were inspired by the guitar slinging ghosts that pioneered the twang of electric guitar and progressive rhythms. Boiling out of the stills of LA's underground is Merle Jagger, an instrumental trio ready to blaze a new trail of amped up Country Rock with a mix of Bluegrass and Jazz for the new Western millennium.
Searching for the truth and not just the cake, long time sessioneer guitarist Mark Christian, a native of the Southern California, teamed up with barnyard pals bassist Patrick Flores and drummer Brandon Goldstein for the ultimate progressive Hillbilly experiment. Mr. Christian's eclectic electric guitar style is fueled by a kaleidoscope of banjo and flat picking treasures that emulate a round-up of influences including Jimmy Bryant, Roy Clark, Jimi Hendrix, and Joe Maphis.
The name Merle Jagger is a derivation of the band's crossover sound of classic country to classic rock creating a cascade of notes that would make Johnny Cash walk the line.
Well, what can we say but thank you again! you guys played your asses off yesterday, everyone was very impressed with the band. Hope we can talk you into doing it again next year. nic
For everyone, There is a reason, To stand strong, To strive for freedom, To live without war, At home and abroad, For these reasons, We will always have, INDEPENDENCE DAY!!
