Title: Yes Veronica, there is a good guitar record this year.
Review: Dweezil Zappa's "Automatic" is stunning not only for its diversity and musicianship, but also for being able to surprise you again and again as you get more familiar with it. Many of the songs seem to open up after a few listens and there's some wonderful guitar playing here. Dweezil's brother Ahmet, who is underrated and a terribly good vocalist, sings on "You're a Mean One Mister Grinch", and Lisa Loeb makes an appearance as a secretary in "Dick Cinnamon's Office." Blues Saraceno, Mike Keneally and others play on the record also. Coming out on Steve Vai's record label Favored Nations, it's no surprise that it's a brilliant record from a guitar point of view, and you won't tire of it quickly. Highly recommended. This is Dweezil's best record yet, possibly typing with Z's "Shampoohorn"!
