CLAY MELTON ELECTRIFYING TRAILBLAZING TEXAS BLUES ROCK GUITARIST!
Clay Melton Prodigious Texas Blues/Rock Guitarist Exclusive Interview!
Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Interviewing the Legends I’m your host Ray Shasho
They live and breathe the fiery swagger of electric guitars and the irresistible allure of rhythm-soaked sounds. That’s Clay Melton’s musical calling in a nutshell. At only 28, the Louisiana-born and Texas-based blues-rocker has already spent 15 years performing live. His powerfully raspy voice and wicked guitar licks leave no doubt he’s grown up in the school of barroom blues-rock.
Clay’s 2022 release, Live in Texas, which includes ten original songs and one cover, was spun on more than 160 radio stations in the U.S. and abroad. His riveting cover of ZZ Top’s Jesus Just Left Chicago, climbed to the #1 song in the world on the Roots Music Blues Rock chart in June 2022.
Live in Texas is Melton’s follow-up to 2021’s critically acclaimed release, Back to Blue, where the title track also climbed to the # 1 song in the world on Roots Music Blues Rock chart, and the album climbed to #9.
On February 24, Clay released worldwide a new single, Alive on a Wire, with a follow-up on April 14th a second new single, entitled Runner. His new album will eventually follow in late ’23 or early ’24.
Please welcome Houston, Texas-based blues-rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Clay Melton to Interviewing the Legends…
