He said about that song, &#8220;The Bottle Lies was written in about 10 minutes. It&#8217;s not autobiographical, but it could have been. It&#8217;s my &#8216;This could have been you&#8217; song.

Even the album, recorded in Nashville caught many by surprise, with the studio being used to people showing up with a trailer of equipment and guitars. Gary said, \u201cI didn&#8217;t even bring a guitar or amp to the studio. I was going to use whatever they had, and go for it. The results were incredible! My tone, my sound came through&#8230;\u201d. Indeed, the sound, along with Gary&#8217;s voice that is just gritty enough to really bring the songs to life, shows why Gary Tackett&#8217;s new\u00a0<em>Blue Eyed Sole<\/em> is an album worth getting for not only its blues and hard driving songs, but also for one of those rare things in music today&#8212;honesty. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"color: #201f1e;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Gary Tackett Band&#8217;s <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #201f1e;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><i>Blue Eyed Sole<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.garytackettband.com\/\"><span style=\"color: #201f1e;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">www.garytackettband.com<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gary Tackett&#8217;s new\u00a0Blue Eyed Sole\u00a0is his just-released debut album.

Whether he's looking for the best ceviche in Colombia, the best poke in Hawaii, the best tequila in Jalisco or the best Taiwanese Beef Roll in Los Angeles and Banh Mi in Ho Chi Minh City; it's all good food! He also loves a good drink. He's had Mai Tais in Hawaii, Bourbon in Kentucky, Tequila in Mexico and Rum in Jamaica. His wine escapades have taken him to Napa, Sonoma, the Willamette Valley and Idaho's Sunnyslope wine Trail. And he's had beer all over the world! Music is another of Ed's passions, writing and interviewing many classic rock, rock and blues musicians. Getting the great stories of road experiences from them is a particular delight. Traveling also fits in with Ed's writing, exploring all over to find the most interesting places to visit, even in out of the way areas.
