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.
