Description

Here's what the top reviewers are saying about Uncle Gus's
new CD, "Turn uo the Blues-a-lator":

Chris Gussa AKA Uncle Gus is one HOT supercharged blues machine. His guitar action is beyond the excellent stage, his lead is precise, strong, crisp and clear. Uncle Gus' musicianship is the absolute ultimate.

There's a lot of different blues genres we have available to us as listeners, BUT, there is nothing like blues done the old way. You know what I'm talking about! Hot axe-tion that you can feel in the ole heart and soul, some hot blowin' harp down and dirty that makes your goose bumps stand tall, and how about some raspy vocals that has that good ole blues growl. Well folks I have just described the talents of this one of a kind bluesman 'Uncle Gus'.

OK, lets talk about the musicianship on 'Turn Up the Blues-a-lator'. Except for Heidi Gussa doing rhythm and vocals on 'Good Morning, Mister Blues' - which she does a fantastic job, her vocals have that sweet, sensual bluesy sounds and Frank Bloise on drums, downright good job Frank..... Uncle Gus is the master mind and master of all other instruments you hear on this magnificent cd.

Every song on this cd is worth mentioning in this review - being outstanding excellent material. I want you to go and listen for yourself, so go to Uncle Gus' website at: http://www.bluesblvd.com/Uncle_Gus/Listen.html...and while you are out there on the net make sure to check out http://www.azblues.org/ which is the website for The Southern Arizona Blues Heritage Foundation of which Uncle Gus is an chartered member, this organization is tops when it comes to helping Arizona blues musicians.

This is the best blues cd that gives you the ole feelin' blues chill I have heard in a long time. The cd brings to us superb written material combined with the excellent instrumental expertise of Uncle Gus to satisfy any blues lover over and over.

Muzik Reviewz

Back in 1966 in the small town (at that time) of El Cajon, California, Chris at the age of sixteen, won a contest for "Best Blues Guitarist in San Diego" "I think I won a hundred dollars and got a write up in San Diego Magazine or some such thing", says Chris. But this was the beginning of "a long strange trip" for Uncle Gus (to quote The Grateful Dead.)
During or around that time, Chris had been jamin' with a bunch of young guys At a teenage nightclub called "The Palace" in Mission Beach who called themselves The Iron Butterfly. They got this "not so appealing" offer to play five nights a week in a seedy little place off of Sunset strip for around fifty dollars a week each and sleep on the floor for free. Most of them quit school and went for it, but Chris stayed behind (mostly because his mother wouldn't let him quit school) But also because he preferred Real Genuine Blues to the strange Heavy Psychedelic stuff they were doing. Well, a few weeks later a talent scout came in and signed them. The rest is history and "Uncle Gus" was literally left singin' the Blues.

Chris started working with Legendary Cowboy Humorist, Baxter Black about 5 years ago. Baxter, you may remember, used to be a regular on the Johnny Carson Show. Baxter and " Uncle Gus" have appeared on PBS TV together and have produced many national radio commercials including Chevy Trucks just lately.
