For people who like guitar albums, this might be a nice choice to listen to. American Rick Ray is a good, kind of bluesy guitar picker who has already been voted as best guitar player. However, the sound on this album is slightly old-fashioned as it sounds rather shallow. It seems to be recorded in a garage or something like that. I like Rick’s guitar playing as it is heavy, fast, rocky, bluesy and rather tasteful at some points. For instance, in songs like The Voices or Standing In Harms Way, but I don’t think prog heads will like this kind of guitar-driven music. *** Martien Koolen (edited by Peter Willemsen) Where to buy? |
