The story of Manny Charlton's Dobro

16. August 2019: Something from Nothing CD + DVD available from Amazon

In the new music documentary DVD Something from Nothing, Manny Charlton talks about the guitar used to record "Vicky" on Nazareth's Close Enough for Rock'N'Roll album.


Manny Charlton plays this National dobro guitar on The Fluffy Jackets' single "Give me Something", available on the new album released as a Digipack (DVD+CD release) via Cargo Records.


Manny Charlton used it to record an instrumental called "Vicky" on Nazareth's 1976 album 'Close Enough for Rock 'n' Roll'. More recently, the guitar was used on the song "Your Way" available on The Fluffy Jackets' 2019 album 'Fighting Demons'. It also appear on The Fluffy Jackets' 2019 album 'Something from Nothing'.

Just after the guitar was used on the previous 'Fighting Demons' album, the steel-guitar was hit by lightning. Manny Charlton explains: "The lightning punched a hole about the size of a golf-ball in our roof, hit this guitar, fried the strings and the lightning also hit four or five other guitars and damaged them all".

The full story is available in The Fluffy Jackets DVD documentary film, released together with the new album 'Something from Nothing' available via Amazon.

About: 
The Fluffy Jackets first appeared on the London scene with a self-titled EP in 2007, but it was not until 2014 that they made a dent in the charts with the debut album «Fighting Demons». Recorded at the legendary Sun Studio by multiple Grammy Award winning engineer Matt Ross-Spang, the outing won the Blues Hour’s «Best Studio Album of the Year» award and also earned the band their first international hit in «Why Don’t You Smile». The slow blues was made particularly memorable for featuring a sizzling guitar solo from Nazareth guitar legend Manny Charlton, backed up by bassist Neil Murray (Whitesnake) and Jerry Lee Lewis‘ drummer Rob Hall (The Killer Band). The band has just completed the anticipated follow-up. Released by Cargo Records UK, “Something from Nothing” will be available as a limited Digipack consisting of a nine track CD album and a two-hour DVD documentary film.
