CD Reviews

Great guitar. Singer? Songwriter? Not so much...

Steven E. Bornfeld | Brooklyn, NY | 11/04/2008

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I haven't heard any of his more recent albums. He is (of course) best known for his instructional books and videos. His touch is deft, funky without being overstated. I am not as high on his songs as such as the other reviewer, but they are good frameworks for his tasty playing and soloing. His singing is adequate.

His influences, esp. considering the date of this album are pretty obvious--his excellent slide playing on the first half of this album evokes Ry Cooder. A few cuts at the end (particularly the final cut) are obviously strongly influenced by Mark Knopfler. If you love these guys, you will enjoy this album--I know I did."

An awesome guitarist who can play all styles
