Album Notes

Passionate fiery guitar playing and powerful-soulful vocals all original material that's commercially appealing . This music really grows on the listener.
Recently Nobby 's had some success licensing songs thru Pump Audio,here's what they say,
Nobby over Jimi
The music doesn't need to be a hit to work in a specific context, Ellis said. The main criterion for songs accepted into the PumpBox is decent sound quality. It takes neither a flat belly nor bulky biceps to get discovered
The beauty of our market production is that nobody cares how young or how beautiful you are. What they care about is that the piece of music works for the moment they try to synchronize it with," he said.

Ellis loves telling the story of how Nobby Reed, a blues guitarist from Vermont, beat both Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" and the Commodores' "Brick House" to the contract for a Crest toothpaste commercial. "The concept was older people at a party, a woman walks in and three gentlemen go, 'Look at that beauty,' and 'Do you think they're real?' And they are talking about her teeth." All three songs were indeed amusing in the context of the ad, Ellis said, but the Hendrix and Commodores songs, famous as they are, tended to overwhelm the ad's message. So the ad producers picked a tune by Nobby Reed
the song was "Out The Bottle" from this cd, and it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

Excellent tempo with dynamite guitar licks.

I found Guitar On My Back to be an excellent CD. I love the style of blues on this disc, and I thoroughly enjoy the guitar and vocals. My favorite track is "Satisfied Blues".
