day of Dylan, Guthrie, and Kerouac". ~ https://www.tradebit.com

On this journey he''s surrounded by ghosts of Americana in 21st century America. with Dobro, Slide guitar, Light percussion and atmospheric vintage keyboard textures carrying the listener through moving, mellow, smoky observations of poetics and people"

It has been said...
"There is a daring promise of the day beyond tomorrow".
"Minutes from Midnight- The NEW album from singer/songwriter IAN CHARLES-
He''s following the remarkable critical success of 2000''s "Wishing Street" and the subsequent "LIVE at The Puppethouse- Solo Acoustic" EP, in 2002.
Ian further fulfills that promise to himself, his past accomplishments and his past, present, and future listeners with an album that includes 13 amazing new originals. Kind of like...
"Ballads, Blues, and Boasters for 21st Century America".
"There is an obvious continuity from his former incarnations as a Springsteen/Mellencamp/Robbie Robertson type of songwriter and performer with a strong southern gospel and Memphis blues vocal influence.
Though there is a unique and individual entity at play that is both mysterious and engaging to both listen to and watch. Either performing with his full band or as a "solo acoustic" in the most intimate setting of a coffeehouse. As he sings the stories, observations and reflections of their lives and his own. He is almost one on one in his "in person" persona.
Outside the confines of any particular venue, Ian Charles'' music connects. It''s electricity is obvious and is fully his own but generously given".
