  • Past, Present And Future, Aron’s debut album for Earwig Music Company, marks the long overdue arrival in the limelight of this major blues talent who was a member of Albert Collins’ original Ice Breakers. Burton’s original bass lines and his warm, expressive vocals on covers such as Percy Mayfield’s “A Highway Is Like A Woman” and Tony Joe White’s evocative standard, “Rainy Night In Georgia, plus his passionate life-affirming originals, “Past, Present And Future” and “Spirit” recommend this project without reservation.

    “Past, Present, & Future is an exceptional work by an artist who has been around for a good long time, but never really took center stage. Aron Burton has put together a first-rate collection of gritty blues that should bring him out of the shadows once in a while. Burton, who holds down the lead vocal and bass chores, composed most of the tunes, all of which are saturated with a hard-edged urban blues feeling.”
