Description

Chris "Uncle Gus" Gussa is best known for his Hard Core Electric Blues Guitar Work, As in the album, "Turn up the Blues-a-lator" (on sale at CD BABY) but those that are familiar with what he can do on an acoustic guitar have long been asking him to do an acoustic album, so here it is!
Much of this stuff is what Chris and his wife, Heidi, have been doing for years as a duo. It's so darn hard to get them to do a live show these days so we thought we'd better get some of this incredible stuff on disk.
Bio: Chris "Uncle Gus" Gussa
When I first met Chris "Uncle Gus" Gussa, He came up to my Studio with his beautiful wife, Heidi, totally unannonced, with four or five guitars under his arms, and a dozen harmonicas in his pockets. He asked if he could have just one minute of my time. I was in the middle of doing a very boring radio commercial, and everybody wanted a break anyway so I said , "Why not?" I figured we could all have a good laugh later or I would be very impressed and jealous (as a "Closet Case" guitar player, myself). Well, after a two hour "minute of my time" I found myself not only impressed and jealous of his guitar playing but talking about what to record on his new album which became "Turn up the Blues-a-lator". (Chris is the reason there is Roadcatz Records)
The man was so good with Electric Blues Guitar, Finger Pickin', Flat Pickin, Acoustic Blues Guitar, Slide Guitar, harmonica, Blues vocals, song writing etc., that I found myself saying, "We have to do a Blues album, now if not sooner!" (I use the word, "we" somewhat loosely because we wound up doing the production at Chris's own studio and it was really just "One two three, done!" all I really did was provide an extra microphone, a label and a little backing.)
Electric Blues Guitar has been Chris's main musical style since he was about ten years old. In 1965, he won a radio contest when he was 16 years old for the Title "Best Blues Guitarist in San Diego." (KGB radio) He's 53 now and has been a studio owner/producer since 1980 and somehow forgot he was practically a Blues legend.
Chris "Uncle Gus" Gussa hit the road with a Blues band called, "The Chain Lighting Blues Band" when he was seventeen and stayed out there (With various bands) until settling out in Cochise County Arizona on his Ranch/Studio/Home in 1981
Chris has been mostly producing jingles etc. lately but one of his main clients (and best friends) is the Legendary Cowboy Humorist, Baxter Black. Baxter used to be a regular on the Johnny Carson Show. "Bax an' Uncle Gus" have appeared on PBS TV together and have produced countless national radio commercials including Chevy Trucks just lately. Baxter wrote a great review (if you want to call it that) for Chris and said to post it whenever you can, so here it goes, ready or not!
"If I could play guitar like Uncle Gus, I'd burn my banjo, give up my membership in the Drywallers Association and ride shotgun for BB King!"
-Baxter Black
