Jock Bartley, lead guitarist, songwriter and leader of '70s U.S. rock sensations Firefall, has just completed his debut solo CD entitled Blindside. Bartley is best known for his inspired work on such classic Firefall hits as "You Are The Woman", "Just Remember I Love You", "Strange Way", "Cinderella" and "Mexico".
Recorded between January and August 2006, Blindside features guest appearances by such rock luminaries as Richie Furay, former Poco member and Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee with the Buffalo Springfield, Rusty Young from Poco, John McEuen and Jimmie Fadden of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Mark Andes from Spirit, Heart and Firefall, John Magne from The Subdudes, Brian Nevin from Big Head Todd And The Monsters, Michael Travis of The String Cheese Incident, Bob Harris from Warren Zevon, Frank Zappa and Axe, along with many other notable musicians and singers.
Songs from Blindside effortlessly span the musical spectrum - from rock to pop to blues, the album showcases Bartley's extraordinary songwriting talents.
Blindside is now available on the new independent record label Winged Horse Records. It is also available on www.jockbartley.net and My Space for individual songs or entire CD download. Blindside can also soon be purchased online from CDBaby.com, iTunes and E-Bay. In support of Bartley's new album, plans for a major tour of the US and Europe are in the formative stages.
In Addition to his new CD and continuing work with Firefall, Jock is an artist of growing renown. Four of his Beatles paintings are featured in a new coffee table book released worldwide, entitled Beatles Art - Fantastic New Artworks of The Fab Four, in which Jock has also written the foreword. Borders Books is sponsoring a number of Colorado and national book signing 'events' in which they will also display, promote and sell his solo CD Blindside.
