Search - Andy Summers :: Charming Snakes

The great breakthrough for Andy Summers

"On this album, Andy Summers dumps his "XYZ" pop for new age instrumentalism, and even one listen to this album makes it pretty clear that this is his true post-Police calling. Working with a select group of notable musicians including the great Herbie Hancock, he, Hancock and others help to carefully create this album full of blazing guitar riffs, pounding drums, and well-arranged synthesizers. Highlights include the uplifting "Mexico 1920" and the darker but no-less-outstanding "Rainmaker" and "Big Thing"."

THOUSANDS OF STARS!!!!
