Description: Band: REX CARROLL BAND Album title: "THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW THE REX CARROLL BAND “That Was Then, This Is Now” Band: The Rex Carroll Band Title: That Was Then, This Is Now Label: Retroactive Records Catalog Number: RAR7899 UPC: 845121022469 Style: Hard Rock/Blues Tracks: 10 Time: 38:51 Lyrics: Yes Packaging: 8 panel jewel case ABOUT THE ALBUM Like a lumbering freight train, The Rex Carroll Band got started slowly (they have been playing live shows since 2004) following the success of 80’s Christian metal legends, Whitecross, where Rex established himself as a guitar virtuoso of epic proportions (2 Dove Awards & 5 consecutive HM Readers Guitar Hero Awards). But, Rex grew up in the 70’s rock scene where he was profoundly influenced by blues and southern rock standouts like The Allman Brothers Band, ZZ Top, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Jimi Hendrix. It is with great joy that Retroactive Records releases That Was Then,This is Now as the debut disc from this Chicago power trio that fuses Rex’s fierce guitar skills with soulful, imaginative and heavy blues. “Foolsgold” is a scorching guitar instrumental showcasing Rex’s axeman-ship full scale (ala Eddie Van Halen or Yngwie Malmsteen) and it serves as the perfect intro to the riff-heavy “Working Man Blues”. While this album will appeal to fans of Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Stevie Ray Vaughn, the mind-blowing, bluesy guitar heroics from start to finish establish The Rex Carroll Band as the choice band for those looking for air guitar inspiration! Get your leather vest and fire up your Harley Davidson, because the blues tradition has just been elevated to a new level. Brian Quincy Newcomb, ucc.org/news: "Rex Carroll has always been a serious guitarist, capable of shredding up a serious storm with amazing nuance and delicacy. But his playing exhibits not merely power, but a rich appreciation of melody and emotion, which more than suits the bluesy tenor of his latest music." DangerdogMusicReviews.com: “Drawing from diverse and formidable roots, Rex Carroll delivers emotional and fiery guitar work on his latest creation. From neo-classical metal fireworks to rough and tumble gritty blues, Carroll is the real deal and worth every minute of your time.” Melodic.net: “Hard rock with heavy blues influences filled with groovy and melodic riffs that should please rock fans of Ritchie Kotzen, Glenn Hughes and The Jeff Healey Band.” Ken Tamplin/Shout: “Rex has sustained the art of great guitar playing throughout the years. It's more than obvious that Rex is on fire and his light shows no signs of dimming.” KEY SELLING POINTS **Full promotional/magazine campaign **Rex has a significant and loyal fan base established over touring the world 6+ times with Whitecross **Active touring band **Specializes in USA National Anthem – at pro sports, Nascar, Harley & 4th of July Festivities TRACKS 01.
