Band/artist history
Chris Pusey (multi-instrumentalist/composer) Chris started playing the guitar when he was just twelve years of age and won an award for ‘outstanding musical achievement’ in 1979 age 15 . In the same year he had his first taste of a ‘real’ recording studio where he recorded a song called ‘sitting on a bench’. During the 1980’s Chris toured with several bands two of which included the Steve Gibbons Band and the Ground Hogs - he also worked with Steve Kazanne who wrote four no 1’s. His career continued through the 80’s and into the 90’s as he trained as a sound engineer in various studios and worked on several projects alongside... In 1995 Chris was miraculously released from alcohol and drug addiction. Since then he has dedicated his life to Christ and now has a remarkable music ministry. Review from Cross Rhythms issue 56... Phil Keaggy is an amazing guitarist. After three decades in harness, he still retains the ability to play incredible music in almost every conceivable style, from classical to heavy metal. Until now, I have never come across anyone capable of emulating the maestro. But, having heard this album, I am prepared to stick my neck out and suggest that Chris Pusey could well be the man to take on the mantle. Back To Jerusalem is full of awesome solos of the weightier variety. These alone would guarantee him session work for life. But Pusey is equally brilliant on the Spanish guitar and he produces some moments of pure bliss. I am certain that we have not heard the last from Chris Pusey. Chris Tozer Review from Cross Rhythms issue 62... In Through the Soundhole Anyone expecting a piece of delicate acoustic artistry after espying the front sleeve will soon be arrested by the torrent of full throttle electric that burst fourth on the opening title track. Like Chris's previous efforts, this is a one-man band effort and pretty impressive it is too with only the keys appearing a little heavy handed. But on guitar Chris is a virtuoso and whether you go for the lilting classical guitar stylings of " Sounds of Bells" or the head to the sky "Mr Guitar Man" ( a tribute to Jimi Hendrix), you'll hear a master musician overcoming a tiny budget to make excellent instrumental music. Tony Cummings-Editor Review from Cross Rhythms issue 68... On the Rock Those who've been reading Cross Rhythms for a while will know that Chris Pusey is a real guitar virtuoso, able to turn his hand to just about any guitar styling from classical to heavy rock. Here, the focus is on multi-note fret acrobatics in Steve Vai mould, with the title track and "Alter of our Heart" showing Chris to be master of the forte. There's an acoustic section on Jubal before it explodes into more rock axe pyrotechnics If this is your forte then Chris is your man. Tony Cummings-Editor Review from Christ World Radio Chris Pusey I have listened to a large part of Chris's work and find his abilities can only be described as phenomenal. Spanish Classical through to nerve-wrenching Rock. He makes the strings of his guitar speak, weep, laugh and howl with such manufactured intensity that you can almost imagine his guitar is willing to die for him in finding that last chord. In truth I am not so qualified as to be able to go any further, I am mearly ...overcome by his music. CWR._

01 Martin Pleau said on 17/06/02 Chris Pusey is the ULTIMATE best guitarist of all time : in his songs, like Bohoo or Out of the Silence, he blends powerful emotions through the sound of the guitar : emptiness, loneliness, pain, joy, peace, power. The electric really haunts on some tracks. This is SO powerful. To God be all the glory...AMEN ! This guy deserves more than a 10 for the rating. Listen for yourself...
