“Andy Aledort is playing his ass off, and the guitar sounds are great,” Warren Haynes says
ANDY ALEDORT HAS been at the pinnacle of American guitardom for decades. He’s toured the world with Dickey Betts, played with Double Trouble and the Band of Gypsys, co-written a best-selling biography of Stevie Ray Vaughan, jammed with a who’s who of six-string greats from Johnny Winter to Buddy Guy to Joe Perry, and taught half the world to play guitar as an instructor and journalist (Aledort is an associate editor at GW; check out his latest column on page 82). He is now coming into his own as a solo artist, as evidenced by In a Dream.
