A funky groove runs throughout this CD, with richly textured guitar and keyboards. Gravely vocals add power and punch to the world-wise lyrics. A great 9th CD by this guitar master.
Bio / Background
Geoff Achison has a reputation as a guitar player’s guitarist. Equally adept at acoustic or electric styles, either choice can be beautifully intricate or feature high energy explosiveness. He has his own sound that is exquisitely tasteful, you recognize an Achison lick when you hear it.
With a soulful voice that evokes Joe Cocker or Warren Haynes, you realize this is a multi layered performer. Add to that his award winning songwriting skills and you have the total package. He has been a musical force on three continents and won honors on all of them. Twenty years of touring and playing with scores of artists like Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna, John Mayall, John Mayer, Levon Helm, Tommy Emmanuel, and Hubert Sumlin have challenged him to play as passionately and skillfully as they do.
Geoff started his worldwide explorations back in 1994 with his first trip to the US.
↓ more ↓The question was could he succeed playing the American originated music of blues, rock, soul and funk coming from the other side of the world, Melbourne, Australia? That was answered when Geoff won the coveted ‘Albert King Award’ in Memphis TN, 1995 and went on to score an endorsement deal with Gibson Guitars USA. He returns regularly to America playing clubs & music festivals. Jorma Kaukonen has used him for the past 9 years as a guest guitar instructor at his legendary Fur Peace Ranch in Ohio.
Moving to London in 1997 he established a UK following, eventually recording ‘Souldiggin’ In The UK’ with a British version of the band. Here too he returns every year winning more fans to his cause with each visit. He counts Australia, the UK and USA among his touring bases playing solo acoustic shows or hiring the best musicians available to form ‘The Souldiggers’ as he goes.
In 2002 Geoff was honoured as an official Patron of the Frankston International Guitar Festival in Australia. And with the release of “Chasing My Tail” in 2002, Geoff was voted the Best Blues Band in Australia as well as the Best Male Performer. His newest CD, “Little Big Men” is his 9th album to date and shows the progression Geoff has made as a guitarist/bandleader/vocalist of high regard. He and his bands have been nothing less than world-class without diluting the unique view and style his Australian roots have given him.
To see his live show, either acoustic or electric, is to witness a player at the peak of his profession.
