Most of us are lucky if we’re able to realize a few of our wildest dreams at some point in our lifetimes. Blues singer-songwriter and virtuoso guitarist Kirk Fletcher knocked off a couple of them just this past year.
Fletcher, long in awe of the axes played by his musical heroes, partnered with his friends at Gibson to create his very own signature guitar (see sidebar.) And he was able to record his latest album, Heartache By The Pound, at the legendary FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
