Hailed as a guitar prodigy in his teens, Eric Gales stood out in a crowd. “He's absolutely incredible,” Carlos Santana told Arsenio Hall. “There's nothing cute about this 16-year-old young brother, you know? Eric Gales has a bright future.” That future, despite his prodigious talent and prolific recorded output, both solo and collaborative, took a time-out while the young phenom struggled with drugs and a troubled street life, including time behind bars. But he found love in a woman who saw his true self, and his friend, Joe Bonamassa, remained a constant ally and source of support. Demons banished, Eric’s career is back on track and his latest album, Crown, was nominated for Best Contemporary Blues Album in 2021. Oh, he’s back alright. The prodigy can reclaim his crown.
