Charles Wayne Sexton (born August 11, 1968) is an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter.

Sexton is best known for his 1985 solo hit "Beat's So Lonely" and his time with the band Arc Angels.

In addition, he served as a member of Bob Dylan's backing band from 1999 to 2012, 2012, and 2013 to present.

Early successes

The Groovemasters, Charlie's first band, was fronted by Lubbock native R.C. Banks are out of money. Little Charlie, the boy's nickname, appeared on the Joe Ely Band in June 1982, shortly after guitarist Jesse Taylor broke some bones in his hand. "Several older guitar players are tense, but the chemistry is A+," an observer at the time.

On Juvenile Junk, a five-song EP by the band Maxwell (a.k.a.a.), Sexton performed under the name Guitar Charles Sexton. In 1983, the Eager Beaver Boys (aka the Eager Beaver Boys) was born.

In 1985, Sexton's debut full length album Pictures for Pleasure appeared. When he was 16 years old, it was recorded in Los Angeles and earned the top-20 hit song "Beat's So Lonely." "A teen idol" performing David Bowie-style rock during the years he was promoted by MTV," Jon Pareles of the New York Times described him as "a teen idol performing David Bowie-style rock." The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard magazine's Billboard 200 albums chart, where it debuted at No. 4. 15. It also produced three Australian Top-100 singles, with "Beat's So Lonely" peaking at No. 1 in No.. 17. The song was included in the film Some Kind of Wonderful, but it was not on the commercial soundtrack.

On his Glass Spider Tour in 1987, Sexton appeared on the Glass Spider's "I Wanta Be Your Dog" and the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat."

Sexton, who was still in his teens, became a well-known session player, recording with artists such as Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Don Henley, Jimmy Barnes, and Bob Dylan. He later joined self-titled album Charlie Sexton, a record that debuted when he was 20 years old.

In addition, he filmed My Time with the artist who gave him his start—R.C. Banks.

Will Sexton and his brother Will Sexton worked for a while in 1988. Will and the Killer is a 38-minute self-titled album starring Sexton and Jimmie Vaughan. Joe Ely's recording was recorded at Fire Station Studios in San Marcos, Texas, and MCA Records was released via MCA Records.

Sexton later performed on several motion picture soundtracks, including True Romance and Air America, and also performed a cameo fronting a bar band in Thelma & Louise.

Sexton formed the Arc Angels in 1992 with Doyle Bramhall II (son of Doyle Bramhall, one of Stevie Ray Vaughan's writing partners) and Vaughan's Double Trouble rhythm section, which featured bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris "Whipper" Layton. The name ARC Angels was first written in Austin, Texas, where they lived. That year, the blues-rock band on Geffen Records released a self-titled album. Fans and commentators loved Steven Van Zandt's album, but the band disbanded in less than three years.

Sexton founded the Charlie Sexton Sextet in 1995 and was released on MCA Records under the name Under The Wishing Tree. Despite the fact that sales were disappointing, it was greeted with critical acclaim. In the meantime, Sexton continued to perform with other musicians, including Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road and Shawn Colvin's Grammy-winning album A Few Little Repairs, which was uncredited.

In 1999, Bob Dylan was hired by Sexton to replace Bucky Baxter. Sexton appeared with Dylan at two Austin, Texas, concerts in 1991 and 1996, as well as some demos from 1983.

"Things Have Changed" is Dylan's best-known film (from the 2000 film Wonder Boys) and 2001's critically acclaimed album Love and Theft, which was praised as one of Dylan's finest performances.

In 2013, Duke Robillard took over lead guitar in Dylan's touring band, but only after 27 shows were allowed to leave. From July and August, Sexton and Colin Linden shared lead guitar duties for the band. Sexton became the sole lead guitarist on the 2013 Never Ending Tour by the European leg, and stayed so until the end of the tour.

Sexton continued to collaborate with other musicians; in 2001, he released Been a Long Time, Lucinda Williams' Essence, and Jimmie Vaughan's album Does You Get the Blues? (2001)

Sexton has created many other works, including Edie Brickell's Volcano (2003), Jon Dee Graham's Great Battle (2004), Shannon McNally's Geronimo (2005), and Los Super Seven's Heard It on the X (2005).

In late 2005, Cruel and Gentle Things was published.

Wall of Fire, Peter Elkas' 2007 debut, has continued to record albums for other musicians, including Canadian singer-songwriter Peter Elkas'.

In 2002, the Arc Angels began appearing in Austin and Dallas for occasional reunion shows. In 2009, the band announced that it would tour with original members Layton and Bramhall, but not Shannon, who suffered with health problems. Eric Clapton, Bramhall's sometime boss, was on the tour. The band also recorded Living in a Dream, their second album in 17 years.

At the Hope for Haiti Now benefit concert and telethon for earthquake relief, Sexton performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" with Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris. The song, which was released as a single, debuted as a single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it debuted at No. 109. 13.

On April 24, 2010, Charlie and Will Sexton appeared at San Miguel's Paramount Theatre for Roky Erickson and Okkervil River in a rare pairing as a pair. Sexton appeared on television Tour stops in Austin on May 14, 2010, and he was also the guest performer for Conan O'Brien's Legally Prohibited From Being Funny. During the band Spoon's appearance on the television show Austin City Limits, Sexton appeared with the band Spoon. On October 9, 2010, the episode premiered on PBS. "Who Makes Your Money" is Sexton's hit song.

In early 2013, Charlie and Will Sexton, Jakob Dylan, Brady Blade, and Dave Matthews recorded an album at Blade's studio in Shreveport, Louisiana. The Nauts are a member of the Nauts organization. The album has not been announced.

Sexton appeared in the Richard Linklater film Boyhood, which was released in 2014 to near-universal acclaim. (The Guardian ranked it at No. 1 in the United Kingdom). (on its 2019 list of the top 100 films of the twentieth century, three films appear on its list.) Sexton appeared in the documentary film Carmine Street Guitars and appeared in the film Blaze as Townes Van Zandt. He also produced the album Writing Wrongs for the Last Knife Fighter at Arlyn Studios in Austin, Texas, in 2018. On the last two Jack Ingram albums, he has also played on guitar.

During Chuck Prophet's 2019 European tour, the pair covered selections from the Rolling Stones' "Some Girls" album.

Sexton was on Elvis Costello & the Imposters' Hello Again 2021 US tour, but the band's Boy Named If tour continued, as well as Other Favorites 2022 tour.

On January 8, 2022, Sexton appeared at the 75th anniversary of David Bowie, a former Bowie keyboard player.

The Arc Angels reunited in January 2022 to appear in four shows in Texas, with Eric Holden replacing Tommy Shannon on bass.

ADRIAN THRILLS: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's recipe to turn your kitchen into a dancefloor

www.dailymail.co.uk, November 25, 2022
DRIAN THRILLS: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's live-streamed kitchen discos brought some much-needed cheer to the 2020 lockdown. As the couple's five young children wandered in and out of the scene, she was aided by her musician husband Richard Jones, who filmed the tumultuous Friday night house parties on his phone. She has since converted the brand into a brand and brought the same vivacious spirit to the stage as she traded the warmth of her London home for the excitement of the live arena on this year's Kitchen Disco tour. Her first live album, which is out on double CD and digitally, rekindles the feel-good spirit.
