New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Brad Absher�s �Lucky Dog� CD presents a collection of music that can only be described as Gulf Coast Soul. A pleasant, spicy mixture of influences that run the gamut from the swamps of Louisiana to the red dirt of Oklahoma. In his sixth release Brad presents twelve tracks that capture the influences of a man that has lived all over this world. Carrying his guitar every place he drifted, he absorbed all the influences that create this original sound. Glints of Lowell
George shine through when Brad�s stratocaster starts lazily sliding through �Woman Who Loves Me ��and then on to reach the holy rolling �Jesus on the Main Line.� Brad�s vocals on �Not Tonight�, �I Can�t Wait� and �I Need a Drink� reinforce why he is a 4 time Male Vocalist Winner.
�Lucky Dog� delivers a blend of all of these important influences and serves up perfection in each and every tune, strongly resonating, and representing the soul of the Gulf Coast. Unless you are well versed in 60�s and 70�s AM radio � it is virtually impossible to distinguish which are of these 12 songs are covers and which are originals.
