Encore: Eric Gales on reclaiming his place as a blues guitar icon
NPREncore: Eric Gales on reclaiming his place as a blues guitar icon NPR's Mary Louise Kelly spoke with guitarist and singer Eric Gales about reclaiming a career stalled by drug addiction and prison time. There's a young blood, young brother from Memphis, Tenn. His name is Eric Gales - 16 years old, still in high school. It's called "Crown," a not-so-subtle hint that he is ready to reclaim his place as a blues guitar icon. KELLY: Well, Eric Gales, I will say again, I am so glad you're in a better place, and I hope the world catches up with you one of these days.
