notes
There's something outta control going on with the Mike Eldred Trio! The music of Mike Eldred (guitars & vocals), Jerry Angel (drums), and John Bazz (bass), can best be described as a head on collision between legendary Elvis Presly guitarist, Scotty Moore, and the great Jimi Hendrix-with the result being a spectacular pile up of twisted boogie, scorching blues and raging rockablilly.
These boys are no strangers to the roots music scene in Hollywood. Eldred was last seen and heard as a founder/writer/guitarist with former Stray Cat Lee Rocker, in Lee Rocker's Big Blue, while Angel and Bazz have been the faithful "keepers of the backbeat" for the critically acclaimed Blasters. All three mugs have favorably graced the pages of Guitar Player, Guitar World and other respected musician magazines, as well as rave reviews from the LA Times. Here's one well-received review of many...
"This guitar intensive album features superb playing by axeman Mike Eldred, whose speedy picking, deep dish bends, and snarling tone alternately caress and pummel in the solo spotlight"
... Art Thompson, Guitar Player Magazine
The Mike Eldred Trio has an impressive resume', with the rhythm section of Jerry Angel and John Bazz coming from The Blasters and Eldred, in the Brian Setzer seat during ex-Stray Cat Lee Rocker's recording tenure at Black Top. Their self-titled album finds bombs going off everywhere, in chunky Stevie Ray Vaughn chordings and '60s-inspired dance grooves, in rockabilly blowouts and L.A. roots investigations along the Phil & Dave Alvin-X-John Doe axis, in country shuffle-swing ("Mess of the Blues") and more, including covers of "I'm Ready" (from Muddy Waters), "Mystery Train" (from Junior Parker, via Elvis), and, complete with backwards guitar, Hendrix's "Pali Gap". No matter what the genre, the band nails the feel and Eldred distills the appropriate guitar potion. Fingers On Fire award recipient!
Blues Revue Magazine - May, 2000
"The Mike Eldred Trio, featuring guitarist Mike Eldred and Blasters rhythm section Jerry Angel and John Bazz became the surprise highlight of the weekend. Eldred put his well-worn Tele through guitar clinic like displays of blues boogie and rockabilly expertise"
...1998 Catalina Blues Festival-Adam St. James, Guitar Magazine
"Mike Eldred is among the rare breed of young guitarist who is not afraid of blurring lines in American Music. By bending all of his favorite musical styles, Mike has created his own original voice in modern electric guitar playing. HE'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT, BABY!"
... Brian Setzer

Awesome!
author: JaneAwesome.Fantastic rockin` blues.Love to watch live! Let`s have more.
Smoking Guitarist shows all his chops
author: Sean DeckerFrom the opening Texas blues inspired Nick's Shuffle to the close of the Hendrix inspired Pali Gap, The Mike Eldred Trio takes the listener on a journey from from Blues and Rockabilly to Rock&Roll. All Eldred's influences are here from Scotty Moore in the classically rockabilly Hello Baby to the Rolling Stones riff tinged I Could Be That Man For You. Eldred combined with the excellent rhythm section of John Bazz and Jerry Angel have created a CD that is about full tilt smoking Guitar based Rock&Roll at its finest.
Somebody call the fire dept., this band is on fire!!
author: DJ CalvinRight from the opening of Nicks Shuffle til the last notes of Pali Gap this album is a winner. A tight sound that is rough enough to be great. The only thing better would be to see them live.
The best "unknown" guitarist in America
author: Chazt78This is rock and roll at its finest, and I can't understand why a cd with Mike Eldred and the Blasters' rhythm section goes unnoticed by all the "hip" radio stations, while pretenders like (gag) "Green Day" or "Blink 182" get played unnecessarily. That riff about Mike Eldred being a cross between Scotty Mooore and Angus Young is 100% correct. Trust me on this one and buy the cd.
