Garry Tallent More Like Me Vinyl

'I learned how to play music by ear, and just haven't learned how to read music since,' saysTallent. 'I would listen to the popular music of the day back then. My favorite was BuddyHolly. And I would mimic what he played on my cheap guitar.'Step forward a few years later and Garry becomes a member of Bruce Springsteen's The E Street BandIt wasn't until 2016 that Tallent decided to step out of his comfort zone and finally become hisown boss with the release of his first solo album, Break Time.

He jokes that it took him 65 years to put the album together, and when asked about it, he seemsuneasy and looks away. When his gaze returns, so has his confidence and the realization thatthere's no need to be anxious.

Since Break Time, Garry has been working on his second solo release, More Like Me. More Like Me is Garry's homage to the sound of the mid-'60s; the sounds he grew up and learned by ear on his cheap guitar. He hopes you like it.
