All I Got Left, the new solo album from internationally acclaimed guitarist, singer and songwriter Chris Bergson, is an intimate, stripped-down affair.

Bergson’s “glorious guitar” (Blues Magazine) provides the only accompaniment for his “deeply soulful vocals.” (Blues in Britain.) Hailed as “the New York street poet with a blues soul” (MOJO) and “one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music” (All Music Guide), Bergson offers a collection of songs that speak to the shared experience of the past year through the universal lens of the blues.

Born during lock down in New York City in 2020, the album includes original material - both new and reimagined - inspired by lived-in scenes of the pandemic, along with new interpretations of songs by Richard Julian (Norah Jones, Little Willies), Glenn Patscha (Ollabelle, Rosanne Cash), Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan.

“Chris Bergson is one of the most inventive songwriters in modern blues music.” - All Music Guide

“A kind of Edward Hopper of the blues.” - The Blues Magazine (UK)

“Chris Bergson plays the kind of guitar you can build a house on - it’s B.B. meets Steve Cropper meets John Scofield.” - ROLL Magazine

“The Chris Bergson Band is one of the most talented bands playing today... From blazing rock to funk to soul to Delta blues and all that’s in between.” - Elmore Magazine
