EUPHORIA: ELECTRA SLIDE IN BLUES
Country Blues Slide Guitar meets electronica
Euphoria is the brainchild of Ken Ramm. He learned slide guitar at the feet of the Rolling Stones and The Allman Brothers, or at least their records. He takes his slide and applies it to the electronica grooves that resulted in their hit "Delerium" a few years ago, a style that’s been called Guitronica. Ken Ramm talks about the new Euphoria CD, PRECIOUS TIME.
