Bio / Background
Prohibition captures Ashton in his finest rocking blues performance to date. He blends the essences of Mississippi, New Orleans and Texas blues, 60s surf, British 70s rock and no-holds-barred Australian kick-ass boogie.
Every element of the blues is encapsulated here and played with amazing dexterity and power. Old Strats, Teles, National resonators, Fender tweed amps, fuzz boxes and his ancient Echoplex are driven to the extreme, guaranteed to satisfy the most discriminating taste in guitar-led blues.
Ashton dives and ducks from the wild frenetic slide guitar featured in the Rory Gallagher classic track Secret Agent to the gentle, graceful, emotional, soulful rendition of his Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute Rest In Paradise.
Each of the 14 tracks on Prohibition delivers a take-no-prisoners approach, with 13 self-penned titles.
