Another in the
popular series of 'Where Blues Meets Rock' which has now reached volume
seven. Once again containing the cream of the guitar world
showcasing their undisputed talents, as well as highlighting the
individual artists latest albums. With such talents as Joe Bonamassa,
Eric Gales, Pat Travers, Michael Katon, Rick Derringer, Greg Koch to name
but a few, this album is sure to appeal not only to the muso’s in the
world, but also to those who appreciate these six string virtuoso’s for
what they are, true masters of their craft.
Those of you
already familiar with the series will already know what to expect from
this album. This is Provogue showcasing the new releases from their
artists as well as giving the listener a chance to sample material from
artists that might be unfamiliar to them, on a sort of try before you buy
status.
Highlights of
the album for me have to be ‘Retribution’ by Eric Gales off his 'Crystal
Vision' album, this really is Gales at his best. If you think
Hendrix was good, you’ll just love this guys material.
Also among the
highlights is the mighty Pat Travers with ‘I’m Yours, She’s Mine’ from
'Power Trio II', and Michael Katon’s ‘Back To Your Cages’, from the
excellent 'MK' album, my tip for guitar album of the year, and who can
forget the hugely popular blues funkster that is Greg Koch with the
brilliant ‘Your Face’.
These are just a
few of my personal favourites from this album, but to get the whole
picture you will have to indulge yourself and buy the full albums by these
guys. Each album has a great deal more to offer. |
