Available via mail order at Angel Magic Music, PO Box 423, Madison,WI 53701. sonic blasts of psychedelia and spoken word poetry.....email: ajlove77@hotmail.com
Combining the sound of a back alley psychedelic blues guitar with the poetry of spoken word, the music of A.J. Love reflects the trials, tribulations, and travels that have been his life. Having overcome drug addictions, homelessness, depression and a major car accident, Love in recent years has dedicated his life and music to the positive vibes of uplifting words and the healing power of the blues. While many an independent musician dreams of the major label deal, Love has long seen the hypocrisy and ripoffs of the major labels and is determined to stay independent and DIY for life, and the positive minded but clearly anti-corporate, no sellout lyrics of his poetry reflect that view. It's a punk rock ethic that courses thru this musician's veins. A.J. Love has performed with Buddy Miles(former drummer with Jimi Hendrix), Clyde Stubblefield, and Willie Higgins (the blues guitarist from Milwaukee,formerly with Albert King, Luther Allison, and Little Milton). Love has toured supporting his own music throughout the Midwest and Northwest U.S., as well as doing shows in Colorado and Utah.
