Jerry Gaskill of King's X | Rock Legend on Shaping 90s Grunge & His Solo Journey

Описание: Welcome to another electrifying episode of Nashville on the Rocks! Today, we’re in for a real treat. Prepare to immerse yourself in the essence of rock music with an artist whose extraordinary talent and brilliance helped define the sound of a generation. With a career that spans over 40 years, he's been the driving force behind an incredible 13 studio albums and two live albums with his amazing band, King's X. Now this band played a pivotal role in shaping the early 90s grunge and progressive metal scenes, with Pearl Jam's bassist Jeff Ament famously declaring that they ‘invented’ the genre. Their signature sound, which combines heavy drop-D guitar riffs, captivating Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and funky rhythms, has inspired major acts like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam. In addition to all of this, he’s released two solo albums that highlight his versatility and artistry. Right now, he’s busy writing and recording his third solo record with our very own co-host—musician-producer, D.A. Karkos. From the stage to the studio, this important artist has left an indelible mark on the industry with his dynamic energy and exceptional skills. So, whether you're a die-hard fan of hard rock or simply appreciate the artistry behind the rhythm, we hope you enjoy this episode with our dear friend, the incredible Jerry Gaskill!
