Big boss man

A scorching guitar in the hands of a clean cut building contractor ! That could be a hasty portrait of Albert Cummings illustrating the saying : don't judge a book by its cover. Or an album as it happens. The fact is that he was not really destined to become a guitar hero, but a businessman in the construction industry.

Born in 1967, in Williamstown (Massachusetts), 56 today, Albert Cummings was raised in a musical family (his dad played guitar and fiddle in local bands). At 12, unable to wrap his hand around a guitar's neck, he took up the banjo and would have become at best a talented bluegrass player, but life has some funny tricks in stock.
