Chick Carlton is a singer/songwriter from the early days of the Eastside Sound. He has worked with the groups the Majestics and Aldermen and even sung with Barry White (Please see my entry under EASTSIDE BANDS - CHICK CARLTON AND THE MAJESTICS)

Chick has recorded a new album entitled 90 MILES FROM VEGAS.

This album brings a fresh sound to todays music scene and takes from Chick's vast musical backgrounds. Those backgrounds are in soul, blues, R&B, Latin Rhythm and he even throws in a touch of reggae.

What makes this album most interesting to me is that Chick has written these songs from his life experiences giving the tunes a more personal touch than most of todays music.

The opening track "Liberace" is a tribute to pianists that even Elton John would be proud to say he recorded.

"90 Miles From Vegas", the title track wowed me immediately with it's Latin Rhythm.

Ballad lovers will enjoy the sincere lyrics Chick has written on tracks like "Once Upon A Time"
"Valentino Smiles"' "Love Is Like An Eagle" and Wild Horse in The Rain"

The bluesy tunes "Names On A Napkin" and :"My Dancing Shoes" show Chick's versatility in vocal style.

I could swear I hear a hint of reggae on the track "Sails In The Wind"

The album closes with the spiritual "Let My Like Speak For Me". The track gives you the feeling of being right there in church with Chick and the band.

Credit must be given to Chick's fine selection of band mates who help bring the songs to life.

I highly recommend you seeking out Chick's fine piece of musical mastery.
