Sexton is best known for the 1985 solo hit "Beat's So Lonely" and for his work with the band Arc Angels. Additionally, he performed as a member of Bob Dylan's backing band from 1999 to 2002, 2009 to 2012, and 2013 to present. BiographyWhen he was four, he and his mother relocated from San Antonio, Texas to Austin, where clubs such as the Armadillo World Headquarters, Soap Creek Saloon, the Split Rail and Antone's Blues Club exposed him to popular music. After a brief period living outside Austin with his mother, he moved back to Austin at the age of 12. By the early 1980s, while Charlie and his brother Will Sexton were still young boys, they were both taught how to play guitar by the local Austin legend W. C. Clark, known as the "Godfather of Austin Blues".[1] Early successesIn June 1982, using the moniker "Little Charlie", he played around 16 dates with the Joe Ely Band after their guitarist Jesse Taylor broke some bones in his hand. "Several older guitar players are somewhat miffed, but the chemistry is A+".[2] In 1983, Sexton (under the name "Guitar Charles Sexton") appeared on a five-song EP by the group Maxwell (a.k.a. the Eager Beaver Boys). Entitled Juvenile Junk, the EP's credits list the following musicians: Maxwell (lead vocals), Charles Sexton (guitars, backup vocals), Alex Buttersworth Napier (bass, backup vocals, maracas), and Gary Muddkatt Smith (drums, backup vocals, claves).{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} In 1985, Sexton released his debut full-length album, Pictures for Pleasure. Recorded in Los Angeles when he was 16 years old, it yielded the Top 20 hit single, "Beat's So Lonely". Pareles of the New York Times described him as a teen idol singing David Bowie-style rock during the years he was promoted by MTV.[3] In 1987, he was an occasional opening act for David Bowie on his Glass Spider Tour. Sexton appears on the Glass Spider home video playing guitar on The Stooges' "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat". While he was still in his late teens, his skills as a guitar player were in great demand and he became a popular session player, recording with artists such as Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards, Don Henley, Jimmy Barnes and Bob Dylan. He eventually followed up his debut with the self-titled album Charlie Sexton, recorded when he was 20 years old.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} Other projectsIn 1988, Sexton worked for a time with his brother, Will Sexton.[4] The band, Will and the Kill, released a 38-minute self-titled album featuring both Sexton and Jimmie Vaughan on tracks. The album was recorded at the Fire Station Studio and produced by Ely and released via MCA Records. Sexton later contributed songs to various motion picture soundtracks, including True Romance and Air America, and made a cameo fronting a bar band in Thelma & Louise.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} In 1992, Sexton, along with Doyle Bramhall II (son of Stevie Ray Vaughan's writing partner Doyle Bramhall), Tommy Shannon, and Chris "Whipper" Layton (both from Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan's famed rhythm section) formed the Arc Angels.[3] The blues/rock band recorded and released a self-titled album on Geffen Records that same year.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} The Steven Van Zandt-produced disc was well received by fans and critics but, due to internal strife, including lack of communication (all members involved) and drug abuse (Bramhall), the band broke up in less than three years. Next was the Charlie Sexton Sextet in 1995.[3] Under The Wishing Tree was released on MCA Records. Although sales were disappointing, it was met with critical acclaim. In the meantime, Sexton continued to perform with other artists, appearing on such notable albums as Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel Road and Shawn Colvin's Grammy-winning album A Few Small Repairs (uncredited).{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} Association with Bob Dylan{{BLP unsourced section |date=September 2015}}In 1999, Sexton was hired by Bob Dylan to replace Bucky Baxter. Sexton had previously played with Dylan during a pair of Austin, Texas, concerts in 1996, and on some demos recorded in 1983. Sexton's residency with Dylan from 1999–2002 brought him great exposure, with many critics singling out the interplay between him and Larry Campbell, who was also a guitarist in Dylan's backing band. Hailed as one of Dylan's best bands, the group recorded a number of studio recordings, including Things Have Changed (from the 2000 film Wonder Boys) and 2001's critically acclaimed album, Love and Theft. In 2013, Duke Robillard took over on lead guitar in Dylan's touring band but was let go after just 27 shows. Sexton and Colin Linden subsequently began switching off lead guitar duties for the band from July and into early August. By the third leg of the 2013 Never Ending Tour however, which took place in Europe, Sexton again became the sole lead guitar player and remained as such through the end of the touring year. Recent activityIn the meantime, Sexton continued working with other artists, producing Double Trouble's Been a Long Time and Lucinda Williams's Essence, both released in 2001. He is credited as producer of Jimmie Vaughan's album Do You Get the Blues? (2001).[5] Since first leaving Dylan's band, Sexton has produced numerous 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, Sexton released his latest album, Cruel and Gentle Things. He has continued his record-producing role for other artists, including 2007's release Wall of Fire by Canadian Peter Elkas.[6] In 2002, the Arc Angels began playing occasional "reunion" shows around Austin and Dallas. In 2009, it was announced the band, with original members Layton and Bramhall (but not Shannon), would begin touring extensively — including a stint with Eric Clapton in England — and recording a second album, their first new studio album in 17 years.[7] He played the guitar and sang alongside Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris, who performed Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" for the Hope For Haiti Now Benefit.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} On April 24, Charlie and Will Sexton made a rare appearance as a duo, opening for Roky Erickson and Okkervil River at the Paramount Theatre in Austin. Sexton was also the guest performer for Conan O'Brien's Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour stop in Austin on May 14, 2010. Charlie appeared as a guest guitarist on the band Spoon's performance on the television show Austin City Limits. The episode premiered on PBS on October 9, 2010. Sexton appeared on one song, Who Makes Your Money.{{citation needed|date=September 2015}} In early 2013, Sexton, Jakob Dylan, Brady Blade, Dave Matthews, and Sexton's brother Will, recorded an album at Blade's studio in Shreveport, Louisiana. The group subsequently became a band called The Nauts. A release date for the album has not yet been announced.[8] In 2014, Sexton appeared in the movie Boyhood. In 2018, Sexton appeared as Townes Van Zandt in the movie Blaze. Discography
