Let me introduce you to Palm Springs-based, “Urban Soul” guitarist John Carey… and his stunning fifth release, NEW BEGINNINGS. Here’s a guy who’s time has come, he can hold his own with players like Norman Brown, Chuck Loeb, Larry Carlton, and George Benson, and, in fact, has been likened to legends Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. If you’re a fan of any of the aforementioned names, you owe it to yourself to check this new album out. From the in-the-pocket Smooth Jazz tunes “Strut Yo Stuff (Struttin)” and “Out On the Town” to the delicious, Latin-flavored “The Rain in Spain” and the Santana inspired “Dancin on a Rainbow,” featuring John’s talented wife Gina Carey on vocals. Mr. Carey will totally capture you and leave you wanting still more of his superb guitar work. Between his smooth, ‘lights-out’ playing and Gina’s impressive vocals, NEW BEGINNINGS sizzles hot as the desert sun!
