One of the fastest rising guitarists in the Northeast, Tyler Morris makes his debut as a vocalist on his one as he teams up with three of the top fret masters in the business – Ronnie Earl, Joe Louis Walker and Mike Zito –for this intense, pleasing follow-up to Next in Line, his promising first appearance on the VizzTone imprint.
Still only 21 years old and someone whose skill on the six-string is a fiery as his red locks, the Boston native proves to be as solid at the mike, too, adding his pleasant tenor to seven of the ten cuts with Walker, Zito and former Blues Blast Sean Costello Rising Star nominee Amanda Fish sitting in for another.

Based in Boston and only age 19, Tyler Morris has been delivering his own version of rock flavored blues as a professional since he was just 11. Joe Louis Walker lends a hand on this collection of nine originals and one cover, the third CD in the young man’s catalog.
An electrifying guitarist who shies away from the microphone, Morris penned nine of the 10 songs here, leaving vocal duties to bandmate Morton Fredheim, who powers through the originals, and Walker, who shines on the sole cover.

Tyler Morris is a 16-year old guitar prodigy from Boston. Tyler was recently featured in Guitar Player magazine, and has already performed with such legendary icons as Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen. This is his debut album. His future is extremely bright!
