Description
Charlie Allen’s “That Was Then, This Is Now� is winning UK media kudos; called powerful, passionate, exciting and authentic with great songwriting and perfect deliveries.
The stage was his classroom. His teachers were the pillars of Country music. At age seven, Charlie Allen first walked on stage with Hank Williams, Jr. He’s since performed with Waylon, Willie, Jerry Lee; even Molly Hatchet, Bad Company and Pat Travers.
Some mothers give their child a toy to play with; Allen’s gave him a broom, and taught him to pretend it was a microphone. Eventually, he learned to play guitar, piano and drums.
When other kids were getting on the school bus, I was getting on the tour bus. I love music. It’s about the highest you can feel in life. I walk out on stage and get cold chills. People are screaming, hollering…you can jump out of an airplane and can’t be that high.
“That Was Then, This Is Now� is being hailed by the UK media: It’s almost shocking to hear something so powerful, but what a delight it is…Charlie Allen is exciting and authentic…In essence: he is his own brand…He’s released an album of amazing depth…The melodies are from the Skynyrd book of Southern Rock…Allen’s vocals are confident, emotional, passionate…This is great songwriting and perfect deliveries…Charlie Allen is a new star waiting to shine.
