YouTube Treats - Arc Angels' "Always Believed In You"
I remember being a young lass and hearing "Beat's So Lonely" for the first time. It may be that Charlie Sexton would rather be known for something else but to a 14 year old girl in Plano, Texas, Sexton and his impossibly high cheekbones, wrote a hawtsome teen anthem for the ages... a song used particularly well in John Hughes' Some Kind of Wonderful, if you recall.
Flash forward, oh, 25 years and Sexton, still dreamy, hit the stage at Auditorium Shores last year with his longtime band the ARC Angels for blistering set of rocking bluesy all out excellence. If you weren't there, now's your chance to revel in the experience courtesy of "Always Believed In You," a song from their 1992 self-titled debut. So, it's an oldie, but a goodie.
In other Sexton family news, brother Will suffered a minor stroke last year and if you're in Austin town, they're having a benefit for him at Antone's on February 15 featuring Terry Allen, Patty Griffin, Eliza and Tony Gilkyson, Victoria Williams, Jimmy Lafave and Bill Carter & the Blame (featuring Charlie). On the positive, Will is expected to make a full recovery.
