NEWS - GUITAR GREAT ERIC GALES AND LINN HOLMES GET TO GRIPS WITH THE "WHIPPING POST"
Eric Gales needs no introduction. Guitar World's Best New Talent for 1991, Billboard blues chart-topper, and a 2022 Grammy nominee, Gales is also a Cleopatra Records regular (most recently his 2023 collaboration with Doug Pinnick, covering Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love"), as well as a regular on the official Jimi Hendrix tribute tours.
Linn was still a child the first time she heard Gregg Allman's "Whipping Post" - not on the Allmans' debut album where it first appeared, but via the southern rockers' 1971 Fillmore live album, where it consumes one entire side of vinyl.
Two 2024 singles, "Cut Me" and the vivacious "Baby Blue," meanwhile, set the stage for her debut EP Introducing Linn Holmes, described by The Source as "reflect[ing] Holmes' deep appreciation for the rich musical heritage of the past while infusing it with a contemporary flair."
