Red Roots

Andy Poxon is a very talented young man with a remarkable level of professional poise for one so young. Only 16 when he recorded these tracks, he not only wrote all of the songs but produced the session as well, big job for anyone at any age. Andy's mixture of American Roots music incorporates heavy doses of the blues as well as rockabilly, soul and jazz guitar flourishes. Poxon's song writing is already advanced with impressive lyrics and arrangements. No doubt he'll be compared to other young blues artist but Andy is truly is own man and a lot more than just another hot young guitarist. As one insightful reviewer wrote; Sure, other wunderkind have cropped up over the years. Shuggy Otis comes to mind. And the comparisons to Johnny Lang are inevitable... This phenom from Maryland is headed somewhere special. to borrow from Jon Landau's famous declaration about some kid from New Jersey, I've seen the future of blues. And it's Andy Poxon. - M.E.
