THE CORNER hits the streets today via VizzTone Records. Early Times is a dynamic guitarist and multi-instrumentalist, and a singer/songwriter whose sharp, engaging lyrics draw comparisons to Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. His guitar playing is deeply rooted in the blues, with an individual, melodic phrasing that also reveals a classic jazz influence. Early is a Blues Rock street poet, his songs living in a gritty urban landscape spanning New York’s East Side street corners, bodegas, and the project park – a world populated by characters like Little Hustler, Uptown Charlie, Tijuana Madonna, Sweet Lou the Butcher, Ruby, Shakey, funky old Mabel, and of course Mary with her Cha Cha hat. Early and his High Rollers create moods so thick you could cut them with a chainsaw, and his incisive guitar playing is always spot on.
