Search - Eric McFadden :: Pain By Numbers

Whiskey Bayou Records proudly releases Pain By Numbers, the new album by acclaimed guitarist-vocalist, Eric McFadden. Guitar Player Magazine writes, ?If San Francisco is home to anyone approaching the abilities of a modern Jimi Hendrix, it?s Eric McFadden.? Produced by famed musician (and Whiskey Bayou Records co-owner) Tab Benoit, ?Pain by Numbers? is twelve tracks of dark gospel, compelling rock, and dirty blues. Encompassing three decades of recording and performing live, McFadden has created his own original style. His music is dirty, his guitar is dirty, and his attitude is dirty. Not in a ?screw you? way but in the gut-wrenching, no-holds-barred, breaking-all-the-rules way. This all brings an unleashed passion to his song writing, guitar playing, and his endless, creative Pain By Numbers journey. McFadden enlists some renowned musicians on Pain By Numbers: Doug Wimbish (from legendary rock band Living Color) on bass; Terrence Higgins (Warren Haynes, Ani DiFranco) on drums; and the aforementioned Tab Benoit on keyboards. The Blues comes in many shapes and sizes. We often try to put our finger on it but it easily slips into another form keeping the music relevant and forever alive. While delivering the goods with the same energy as the Clash and the Ramones, Eric McFadden?s Blues seek its own musical footprint on Pain By Numbers.
