PROFILE
Ten years. That’s how long it’s been since Charlie Sexton’s name was on the cover of an album: 1995’s Under the Wishing Tree, by the Charlie Sexton Sextet. Which is not to say he wasn’t busy. Long one of Austin’s signature musicians, the 37-year-old spent a good part of that time as Bob Dylan’s guitarist, both live and on 2001’s astounding Grammy®-winning Love and Theft and soundtrack projects including Wonder Boys. He also produced records by Edie Brickell, Shannon McNally, Los Super Seven, Lucinda Williams, and the Double Trouble rhythm section featuring performances by Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi, Jonny Lang, and others; lent his talents to no less than 20 other musical compadres (including studio work with Terry Allen, Charlie Musselwhite, Don Henley, Keith Richards & Ron Wood, and Rufus Wainwright, as well as live performance work with David Bowie), and became a first-time father. Now, with his Back Porch debut scheduled for release this summer, it’s time the world got re-acquainted with Charlie Sexton, songwriter; Charlie Sexton, multi-instrumentalist; Charlie Sexton, artist in his own right.
