AC Myles

“Solid, confident performance with strong guitar and vocals and good attention to tone” – Bruce Iglauer – Alligator Records

Hot off an official appearance at 2017’s Winter NAMM Convention, AC Myles new album?‘With These Blues’?reaches back to the root of his musical development. Myles is stylistically along the lines of a modern day Johnny Winter, Steve Marriot, Rory Gallagher & Elvin Bishop and his albums?‘Rush to Red’ (2015)?&?‘Reconsider Me’ (2014)?outline his musical development and his maturing into one of the more valid guitarists and vocalists in the blues/rock arena. AC Myles new album,?‘With These Blues’ (2017)?is a collection of originals and choice covers in traditional electric blues styling. Myles very confidently delivers, with an amazing vocal range and tone as well as staggering unyielding guitar work, no doubt is left that he is the mature and genuine article.

“Blues-rocking guitarist AC Myles is an artist whose musical stock seems to be an arrow pointing straight up. The real deal folks! Dig it!” – Brent Black / www.criticaljazz.com

Myles’ song selections on?Reconsider Me ?(2014),?‘Rush to Red’ (2015)?&?‘With These Blues’ (2017), produced in San Jose, Ca. with Kid Andersen at his Greaseland Studio, vary from traditional electric blues of the 60’s and 70ís into blues-rock overload. Myles also brilliantly displays his songwriting abilities to crossover as effortlessly as some larger drawing acts wish to. The self-penned tracks?‘Open Road’?and the tour de force??Liviní a Lieí?showcase fierce rock n roll slide guitar and vocal chops, following right in line with the clever co-written southern rocker??Call ?em All Babyí?and the southern rock anthem?‘Closin’ ’em Down Every Night’, which further showcase his musical depth and songwriting. The original instrumentals?‘顿颈迟肠丑产补苍办’,?‘闯辞补辩耻颈苍’, &?‘尝辞苍别谤’?are tips of the hat to blues guitar greats alike Earl Hooker, while the covers of Bo Diddly’s?‘Can’t Judge a Book (By Looking at the Cover)’, the Bobby ‘Blue’ Bland classic?‘I Wouldn’t Treat a Dog (The Way You Treated Me)?and Jimmy Dawkins inspired funk blues workout of?‘Key to the Highway’?will undeniably change your answer on whether or not the songs have been recorded perhaps once to many times.

“Perhaps the only soulful thing to come out of Fresno, AC Myles can play the hell out of a guitar, and he’s growing as a songwriter” – San Jose Metro Editor Steve Palopoli

Born in California, the only son of production workers, Myles grew up in the migrant worker rurals of the Central California town in which he was raised. Myles spent his later teens and twenties touring with his own band eventually finding his way to the San Francisco Bay Area and playing sideman to an array of acts. Along the way, with a keen ear and sincere passion, AC has become a gifted entertainer and musician. His personal appearances have a ‘take no prisoners’ approach which; along with a healthy dose of humor, usually gets even the toughest audiences on his side.

“This album is a stunning piece of work and will put Mr Myles on your list to see live and to track down his previous releases.” – Bob Bonsey – Blues Matters Magazine UK

Myles proves his traditional styling’s are up to snuff both vocally and on guitar as well with an amazing vocal workout of the Johnny Adams track,??Reconsider Meí, original tracks?‘Satisfy My Love’,?‘Broke Baby’?and the James Brown classic?‘I’ll Go Crazy’. In addition??Reconsider Meí,?‘Rush to Red’?&?‘With These Blues’feature tracks by artists Myles has had the opportunity to share stages with in his career, including Roman Carterís blues gem??Queen Beeí?and the Fillmore Slim funk arrangement of the Fats Domino R&B classic,??Blue Mondayí. The self-penned??Death Bed Bluesí?and??Three Ways to Fallí, which have darker lyrical output, showcase his grasp and retention of blues traditions, while his rendetion of the Rodger Collins B-Side cut?‘I’m 开云体育 Time’?and??What is Loveí, a cover of Oaklandís blues/mod/soul kings The Loved Ones, is an ode to the region of California that became adopted home territory for Myles and sprouted his musical growth and career.

“AC Myles ‘Reconsider Me’ promises to provide some of the most memorable moments of 2014!”
– Tom Hyslop – Blues Revue Magazine/RockMrTom

“‘Reconsider Me’ by AC Myles is an enjoyable CD. The man has a very good voice and he’s a great guitarist. There is much variety in his music.” – Rootstime Belgium

If you have not been to one of his shows, you owe yourself this one pleasurable evening with a man that can change your life in just one night. You will be glad you did. Described by a Fan…….

His self titled CD was spoken of and described as :
This month was Muddy Waters Month on "Blues Edition" which is a radio program I host on Saturday nights in the Chicago area. This week's show was dedicated to Muddy's legacy - covers of Muddy's songs ect. Well the listening audience was unanimous that Alvon's version of "Hoochie Coochie Man" was spectacular. It is a cutting edge rendition which holds its own with Muddy's original which is, of course, one of the top ten blues recordings of all time. Chicago is drenched in blues talent (we're proud of it too) and Alvon can go head to head with the best around here.
Greg Freerksen, host "Blues Edition" Public Radio from College of DuPage, 90.9 FM WDCB, Glen Ellyn, Illinois 7-9 pm Saturdays.

His second CD was spoken of and described as :
If there ever was a blues album that could change the face of every blues album to come, it's got to be this one. Alvon delivers the blues in a smooth, exciting, and energetic fashion. The thing that I liked most about this album, was that everyone on it seemed like that were having a great time playing the music. This is real blues with a touch of flavor. I loved every single song on this album. The lyrics where great, the guitars where smokin', and the feeling was oh so right! I like to feel the music, and there wasn't a problem at all with the feeling being presented on this album. It's too bad I can't hear blues like this more often. I am truly honored to review this music. The Blues may have grown up, but it's still as good as it's ever been. Alvon shows that here with every note and every word.
