Rex Band Carroll - That Was Then This Is Now (15th Anniversary) [CD]

Fifteen years after it first tore onto the scene, That Was Then, This Is Now makes it's long-overdue debut on vinyl-louder, heavier, and bluesier than ever. This 15th Anniversary Edition captures Rex Carroll (Whitecross, King James, Fierce Heart) at full throttle-channeling gritty southern blues with the soul of a rock revival and the chops of a guitar legend.Originally released in 2010, the album showcased a raw, groove-laden side of Rex that still ripped with technical fire. Mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (Bride, Deliverance, Saint), this edition includes a 12x12 full-color lyrics insert, a new 2025 reflection from Rex himself, and two scorching new bonus tracks: Highway Roll and In For Some Trouble.From the gritty stomp of Witch Dr. Bones to the soaring licks of Throw Them Bonz and the soul-drenched melodies of My Train, this is blues rock with bite, backed by the rhythm section of Antonio Acevedo and Gary Miller holding down every heavy groove.If you're a fan of ZZ Top, Glenn Kaiser Band, or the shredding days of Whitecross, this collector's vinyl is built for your turntable-and your soul.
