Random Friday ~ Charlie Sexton


Chuck is simply the most unknown yet often heard man in music. He sings, plays just about every instrument under the sun and produces records. You can’t throw a rock in Americana music without hitting someone who has played with, been produced by or dated Charlie.

Here is a smattering of tunes he has been involved with.

As a performer:

Charlie Sexton Sextet ~ Plain Bad Luck and Innocent Mistakes

Charlie Sexton ~ Cruel and Gentle Things

Bob Dylan ~ Summer Days


As a producer:

Shannon McNally ~ The Worst Part Of A Broken Heart

Peter Elkas ~ Wall of Fire

Lucinda Williams ~ Get Right With God

Jon Dee Graham ~ Harvest (Neil Young cover)

Double Trouble (also sings) ~ Turn Toward The Mirror

He also produced Los Super Sevens last release. Which I couldn’t track down any mp3s from. But trust me, it's good too.

Ok, so I got to ask, who all has Charlie dated? I know he was married for quite sometime, but it seems he has a pretty private social life.
