Tommy Emmanuel • From Out of Nowhere

 

Biography
by Jonathan Widran
Tommy Emmanuel, four-time winner of Australia's Best Guitarist Award, has helped bring the art of rock guitar down under to a higher awareness by bringing a sense of jazz improvisation into a mix that also includes blues, country, rock, classical, and Spanish music. After years as a popular sideman and ace songwriter, the two-time ARIA Award winner launched his solo career in 1988 with Up from Down Under. Several releases followed, notably 1993's critically acclaimed The Journey, which hit high on Gavin and Radio & Records NAC airplay charts. He has shown a mastery and affinity for both electric and acoustic axes, and has been singled out by the likes of notable musicians such as Chet Atkins -- with whom he recorded The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World in 1997 -- and Todd Rundgren, who called him an innovator on the instrument. Only appeared in 2001, followed by 2002's Endless Road (it was finally released in the U.S. three years later), 2005's Live One, and, in 2006, both Happy Hour (with Jim Nichols) and Mystery.

Although Emmanuel took a brief hiatus from the music industry at the end of 2007 for health reasons, that October he recorded all three nights of a residency at the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, California. These recordings made up Center Stage, an acclaimed double-disc live set released in 2008. Equally well received was 2010's Little by Little, a comeback of sorts in the form of a double-studio album featuring a tasteful rendition of Carole King's "Tapestry." Arriving in 2011, All I Want for Christmas nodded in places to John Fahey's classic festive recordings, while 2013's The Colonel & the Governor saw him team up with the equally talented English guitarist Martin Taylor.

Two years later, he delivered the solo studio date It's Never Too Late on Sony, followed by 2016's holiday-themed Christmas Memories. Accomplice One, released in late 2017 on Thirty Tigers, was a landmark set. Emmanuel appeared with one of the best and widest-ranging lineups of string players and featured performers of his career, including Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman, Suzy Bogguss, and Jake Shimabukuro. In 2019, he paired with fellow guitarist John Knowles for Heart Songs. 2020's retrospective The Best of Tommysongs was a double-album of career highlights as well as five new songs written for the collection.

Biografía
por Jonathan Widran
Tommy Emmanuel, cuatro veces ganador del premio al mejor guitarrista de Australia, ha contribuido a dar a conocer el arte de la guitarra rock en Australia aportando un sentido de la improvisación jazzística a una mezcla que también incluye blues, country, rock, música clásica y española. Tras años como popular músico de acompañamiento y gran compositor, el ganador de dos premios ARIA lanzó su carrera en solitario en 1988 con Up from Down Under. Le siguieron varios lanzamientos, entre los que destaca The Journey (1993), aclamado por la crítica, que alcanzó los primeros puestos en las listas de éxitos de Gavin y Radio & Records NAC. Ha demostrado su maestría y afinidad tanto con las hachas eléctricas como con las acústicas, y ha sido destacado por músicos tan notables como Chet Atkins --con quien grabó The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World en 1997-- y Todd Rundgren, quien lo calificó de innovador en el instrumento. Only apareció en 2001, al que siguieron Endless Road, de 2002 (se publicó finalmente en Estados Unidos tres años después), Live One, de 2005, y, en 2006, Happy Hour (con Jim Nichols) y Mystery.

Aunque Emmanuel se apartó brevemente de la industria musical a finales de 2007 por motivos de salud, en octubre grabó las tres noches de una residencia en la cervecería Sierra Nevada de Chico (California). Estas grabaciones formaron Center Stage, un aclamado doble disco en directo publicado en 2008. Igualmente bien recibido fue Little by Little, de 2010, una especie de regreso en forma de álbum doble de estudio que incluía una interpretación de buen gusto de "Tapestry", de Carole King. All I Want for Christmas, que llegó en 2011, recordaba en algunas partes a las clásicas grabaciones festivas de John Fahey, mientras que The Colonel & the Governor, de 2013, le permitió formar equipo con el igualmente talentoso guitarrista inglés Martin Taylor.

Dos años más tarde, publicó en solitario It's Never Too Late en Sony, seguido de Christmas Memories en 2016. Accomplice One, publicado a finales de 2017 en Thirty Tigers, marcó un hito. Emmanuel apareció con una de las mejores y más amplias alineaciones de músicos de cuerda e intérpretes destacados de su carrera, como Jason Isbell, Mark Knopfler, Rodney Crowell, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman, Suzy Bogguss y Jake Shimabukuro. En 2019, formó pareja con el también guitarrista John Knowles para Heart Songs. La retrospectiva de 2020 The Best of Tommysongs fue un álbum doble de lo más destacado de su carrera, así como cinco nuevas canciones escritas para la colección.
