Daniel Wentworth--Self-Titled Album

Daniel Wentworth's latest 12 song, self-titled album (the follow up to "Caught In A Jam") is an outstanding example of axe slinging at its finest. From the hyper, free-wheeling "Flyin' Down 94" to the acoustic song "For You", this album has something for everyone. The 'riffman cometh' on tracks such as "Pete's Revenge" and the muscular "Face Down In It", the later featuring an explosive tapped solo. "Road Rage" continues the tradition of bombastic, lightning-quick instrumentals Wentworth is becoming known for. "Trippin' Over You" slows it down, and allows the Michigan guitarist to explore an expressive yet incendiary playing style. Wentworth has once again delivered an impressive collections of hard rock instrumentals.

Tracklist:

  1. Flyin' Down 94

  2. Pete's Revenge

  3. Falling Down

  4. Ten Feet Tall

  5. Face Down In It

Robben Ford--Truth



On his latest release, guitar legend Robben Ford speaks the truth...not just with the sound of his guitar, but with the vision behind his music as he ventures deep into the blues with aggressive licks, direct and honest vocals and an uncharacteristic, yet appealing, rough edge. The CD also features Susan Tedeschi on the song One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor.

Not to be confused with Jeff Beck's identically titled 1968 album of crackling blues-rock fusion, this disc incorporates Robben Ford's unique blend of blues and jazz, but not rock. His first studio outing in four years shoehorns his traditionally biting, incisive-yet-clean guitar licks into songs that can't easily be pigeonholed. The opening easygoing Chicago shuffle of "Lateral Climb" is about as bluesy as it gets. The tune kick-starts the proceedings with a blazing solo that will have guitar fans salivating that this is finally the release where Ford opens up on his instrument. But the set shifts into a distinctive blend of R&B, jazz, smooth blues, and pop that displays the multitalented musician's strengths as a supple, subtle, and inviting vocalist as well as an intermittently skillful songwriter. A taut cover of Otis Redding's "Nobody's Fault but Mine" finds Ford mining a Memphis groove, as does the gospel-tinted "You're Gonna Need a Friend," cowritten with his wife. "Too Much" features an ominous plodding beat that never quite connects until the slashing solo, and the less said about the clichéd B.B. King tribute "Riley B. King" (cowritten with Keb' Mo') the better. But a rousing version of Paul Simon's "One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor" with Susan Tedeschi hits the soulful sweet spot Ford occasionally misses with the sporadically bland, yet agreeably jazzy fare that dominates this eclectic project's final third.

Tracklist:


1. Lateral Climb
2. How Deep In the Blues (Do You Want To Go)
3. Nobody's Fault But Mine
4. Riley B. King
5. You're Gonna Need a Friend
6. One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor
7. Too Much
8. Peace On My Mind
9. There'll Never Be Another You
10. River Of Soul
11. Moonchild Blues

Guitars That Rule The World Vol 2--Smell the Fuzz

There's no question that Guitars That Rule the World, Vol. 2: Smell the Fuzz is designed with guitar freaks in mind. It's hard to imagine the average listener sitting through these ten guitar showcases without getting antsy, since each piece emphasizes technique and skill, not melody and hooks. However, guitar fanatics should find this quite intriguing, since it offers a number of guitarists (plus bassist Billy Sheehan) on their own original compositions. Some of the cuts fall a little flat, and it may be a little too close to prog-metal for some tastes, but the collection nevertheless offers some fascinating cuts from the Hellecasters, John Christ, Robert Fripp, Kim Thayil & Dark Lord, Alex Lifeson and a solo Billy Corgan, all of whom make the album worth a listen.


Tracklist:

1. Distonation - The Hellecasters

2. Ascendo - Billy Corgan

3. Strip and Go Naked - Victor, Alex Lifeson

4. Blues for 2-XL - J. Yuenger

5. Cherokee Boogie - Ace Frehley

6. Brewicide - Dark Load, Kim Thayil

7. Explosion - Death Metal Summit, Unheard Of

8. Niacin - Billy Sheehan

9. One Song - John Christ

10. Sunset Collage 1 - Robert Fripp

Roy Buchanan--When A Guitar Plays The Blues



In Buchanan's case, blues or not, wallpaper peels and mountains move. On this 1985 album the former rockabilly guitarist whose technique earned him wide acclaim in the early 1970s agitates the program with a virtuosity that defines the parameters of sonic extremism. Buchanan and Chicagoans Otis Clay and Gloria Hardiman provide a few vocals, the former ineptly and the latter two adequately.

All in all a fine album by Roy Buchanan, a guitar hero who never quite made the big time.


Tracks:

1. When A Guitar Plays The Blues

2. Chicago Smokeshop

3. Mrs. Pressure

4. A Nickel And A Nail

5. Short Fuse

Paul Gilbert--Alligator Farm(Album+Tabs)

On Alligator Farm, guitarist Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big) builds on his songwriting foundation while maintaining his ever present guitar prowess and in the process redefines his role as one of the world's greatest guitar talents. Jeff Martin was a huge help to Gilbert in building his raw ideas into songs, and for getting him to leave the studio often enough to get ideas for new songs. With a 'recorded-live-in-the-studio' feel Gilbert assembled a band of his favorite musicians: Scotty Johnson (guitar and keyboards), Tony Spinner (guitar and vocals), Mike Szuter (bass and vocals), and Jeff Martin (drums and vocals). Even the guitar solos are live on this one! Overall Alligator Farm is raw and full of live energy, and, for the crazed guitar fans, the CD features an instrumental song ("Let The Computer Decide") that features Gilbert's insanely-tuned Ibanez 7-string guitar, as well as the Mozart-based instrumental "Whole Lotta Sonata".

Tracklist:
