About Me

Jock Bartley, lead guitarist, songwriter and leader of '70s U.S. rock sensations Firefall, has just completed his debut solo CD entitled Blindside. Bartley is best known for his inspired work on such classic Firefall hits as "You Are The Woman", "Just Remember I Love You", "Strange Way", "Cinderella" and "Mexico".................................................... ...................................................Jock's solo CD Blindside is a masterwork where the love songs have edgy twists. Those who like an edgy, contemporary singer-songwriter-guitar virtuoso should be elated with Blindside. It is one of those rare albums that you can slide into your CD player and hit the 'repeat all' button to enjoy over and over again." - *Archer - Breakfast With The Beatles – KQMT 99.5 The MTN, Denver...................................................... ..................................................."This is a much wider-ranging project than what we have heard on the many fine Firefall releases over the years, and it all works. 'Veronica So Fair' ranks with the best ballads of Crosby, Stills and Nash, and they would do well to cover it." - *Mark Saxon, Songwriters Guild of America, East Coast Project Manager..................................................... ..................................................."Jock Bartley has always been a guitar hero to be reckoned with - he was a student of jazz great Johnny Smith, for crying out loud. Jock 's first solo album falls into the 'better late than never' category - besides a roster of guest artists that reads like a Who's Who of Rocky Mountain rock, his monster playing is all over the record." - *G. Brown - KCUV Denver & author of ‘Colorado Rocks - A Half-century of Music in Colorado’................................................. ....................................................."Jock Bartley's Blindside is a hit! It is refreshing to have an accomplished leader provide the vision the music scene so desperately needs right now. - *Erik Dyce - Marketing Director for Red Rocks Amphitheater and Denver Theaters & Arenas...................................................... ...................................................."Jock is a talented musician, guitarist, artist and songwriter. Because he has toured and been involved in so many recording hits over the last decades, it gives him a musical perspective that shines through on his new solo CD." - *Paul Reed Smith, master guitar maker & CEO of PRS Guitars..................................................... .....................................................
