Matt Henderson

It won't take long for even a fan of U.K. blues-jazz guitarist Matt Schofield to realize that this is his most focused, blues-oriented album to date. The opening track, "What I Wanna Hear," sets up an easygoing shuffle landing somewhere between Texas and Chicago as Schofield's laid-back yet emotional voice digs into the sparse, insistent groove, propelled by Jonny Henderson's organ. When the guitarist lets loose, it's a solo that's wired from the heart, plowing into the arrangement with a lean, mean tone that slithers and glides above the walking bass beat.

Widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists of his generation - and the best British-born blues guitarist since the iconic heroes of the ’60s - Matt Schofield released his new album, Anything But Time, June 14 on Nugene Records. Recorded at The Music Shed in New Orleans, it is the award-winning guitarist and singer-songwriter’s fourth studio release. Anything But Time was made with veteran producer John Porter - another Brit celebrated for his way with capturing the authentic sound of American blues music.
