THIS CD IS A COMBINATION OF MODERN CONTEMPORARY SONGS RFLECTING LOVE TRUST AND ACCEPTANCE PLUS ELECTRONICA INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC FOR THE IMAGINATION. Review: With quick fingers, Charlie Cobb has developed an album ‘Sparkle’ that brings to life acoustic guitars, a keyboard and harmonous vocals. With the featured song ‘Sparkle,’ Cobb paints a visual picture with music. Just listening to his composition of the music you can tell the natural talent that Cobb possesses. If you like the guitar strums of James Taylor and country vibe of John Denver then you will LOVE Charlie Cobb. Living in Metcalfe County, Kentucky, Cobb holds true to the country feel of the bluegrass state. By incorporating different instruments throughout the album ‘Sparkle’ Cobb keeps the album diverse and melodic. With the calming sounds of ‘Day Break’ you can actually visualize the sun coming up over the hillsides of Kentucky. Cobb is truly an artist in multiple ways, bringing music to life through his words and multi-range musical talents.

Discography
My first cd release "Sparkle" is a mix of Contemporary Songs and Orchestrated Instrumental Music. The songs reflect Love Trust and Acceptance while the instrumental music gives way to the imagination. The Sparkle cd has radio exposure in Belgium, England, Spain and the United States. CD is available from cdbaby and 29 digital download stores world wide. I have a new cd coming out this summer that has a musical style much different than my first release. This cd has the flavors of new grass and folk rock music with a touch of piano.

Bio
How do you know where you're going if you don't know where you've been? My first instrument was a minow bucket. My dad and I went fishing alot when I was little and while he was fishing, I would play drums on the minow bucket. Don't remember catching many fish.
I grew up along the beautiful Gulf Coast where at the age of 19 relocated to Ohio where I began a career in portrait photography. While my career expanded so did my work territory and this is when I met a resident of Metcalfe County, Kentucky who invited me for Thanksgiving in the late 80's. In 1990 I made the decision to explore another interest, music. So, after 18 years in the photographic field, traveling throughout the central and eastern U.S; I settled down in Metcalfe County, a place I'm proud to call home. Good friends, friendly people, beautiful surroundings and music everywhere.
In 1992 I began working as a studio musician, with credits for keyboard and guitar on well over 100 recordings. Some of which include: "Lonzo and Oscar" of the Grand Ole Opry, Ann Hagan Ministries, radio broadcaster/writer Stan McKenny, The Stewart Family, Doc Jones, and The Campbell Girls. My own library of original material consist of several hundred songs, including instrumental compositions. Wrote "Have You Ever" recorded by country artist Anthony Dean.
I was one of the back-up musician's for Lonzo and Oscar (of the Grand Ole Opry) and other artist at the T.M.A. Awards. Composed music for "Gods Rainbow" lyrics by songwriter Stan McKenny. Sound Engineer on projects by: The Stewart Family, Gospel Crusaders, vocalist Carrie Erwin and others. Personal Sound Library includes instrumental compositions for use in Film Radio and Television. The tools of my trade are guitar, piano, bass, harmonica, synth and vocals.
