Search - The General :: Revelation Blues

Taliesyn Music is pleased to welcome The General to the label. There's much to be said about The General's style of blues, but we have decided to let the critics speak for us. Here's what the critics have to say about The General: The BLUES FOUNDATION: "The General, Gypsy Carns, has anointed the United States, Japan, France, England and Germany with his vocals, percussion, and 12 string Dobro bottleneck prowess. Carns is also known as a blues songwriter, co-penning a Koko Taylor tune that garnered a Grammy nomination." BLUES REVUE: "The General is Gypsy Carns, a one-man wrecking crew who plays a "stompbox" tambourine / kick drum combination, harp, and 12-string resonator guitar. This is hammering, powerful stuff, driven by Carns' energy and rough-hewn vocals." BLUES ACCESS: "The General (Gypsy Carns) mixes his road-gravel voice, acoustic resonator guitar and heavy Delta blues with a born-again Christian message... giving thanks to Jesus for his inspiration, Carns sings in a dynamic, gravelly voice, truly laying it all on the line..whatever Carns sets out to say, he does it with admirable force and integrity.the tunes range from fine and fun blues originals to spiritual and metaphysical pieces that expose Carns' zealous faith and his take on political events." LIVING BLUES: "A fascinating CD..check out Seven Seals for a head-slap to your lyrical blues aesthetic."
