Title: More than just good chops
Product review: After listening to the cd a few times, I must say I'm impressed. It's obvious the guy has chops, but he doesn't force them on you with a barrage of overwhelming guitar noise. Instead, he seems to prefer a more restrained, laid back approach, using his guitar for punctuation & emphasis, a technique made famous by B.B. King & Albert King, & to a lesser extent even SRV. This makes his guitar solos stand out all the more, & when he does cut loose his style, phrasing, & tone are unquestionably the work of a master. Especially rewarding are the last two songs, "Atlanta Moan" & "Speechless," two hauntingly beautiful ballads in stark contrast to the fast pace & upbeat tempo of the previous nine. I give him four-and-a-half stars & expect that he will continue to get better with age.
