Charlee - CHARLEE***

Wizard/Lords Knows I've Won/Just You & Me/A Way To Die/Let's Keep Silent Part 1/Wheel Of Fortune/It Isn't The First Time/Let's Keep Silent Part 2

Eponymous sole album release from the Canadian hard rock band Charlee. It includes plenty of wah guitar work courtesy of the legendary guitar hero Walter Rossi. Lords Knows I’ve Won topped the Australian charts.

“Consistently great, guitar driven semi-commercial hard rock with excellent material. The album features extensive wah-wah and overdubbed guitars, as well as raspy vocals. It's hard to imagine anyone truly into hard rock not liking this record.”

“A fantastic album that every fan of heavy '70s rock must hear. It's consistently good and the impressive guitar pyrotechnics never become too much, it is reined in perfectly.”

“With some blistering axe this is a gem of an album, and the only one ever released by the group. A must for any and every rock record collector.”

“Excellent album - Canadian rock as good as it gets, great guitar playing, soloing, and some fine songs, this album features Walter Rossi at his peak.”

“From one song to the next it just gets better and better. The opening salvo is an instrumental workout that sets the mood building to a searing climax. The guitar howls through its effects and solos almost non-stop, in a blues based showcase of diversity, restraint and tastefulness.”

“This is a killer, Walter Rossi at his best and one of the heaviest records. When I heard it the first time, I couldn't believe what I was listening to. Time stood still and the guitar screams like Hendrix but louder.”
