Elegant album, completely instrumental.
Developed on the flair of the musician, engaged in a series of wild guitar sprees, with sudden changes of speed in the execution of the notes.
There are also more relaxed, meditative, and subdued atmospheres.
The musician is well supported by brilliant instrumentalists.
The arrangements are by Gatton and the saxophonist Holloman.
The musical styles blend together with particular and unmistakable taste, able to distance themselves from the conventional guitar stereotype.
Wonderfully fused together: Blues, Rock, Jazz, Rockabilly, Funk.
The tracks are tasty and sparkling, at times playful like "Fandingus".
It's clear that some tracks are more exciting, but overall it reveals itself as an excellent listen for those intrigued by such musical genres.
As far as I'm concerned, the standout piece is the ballad "Blues Newburg", but it's not the only one.
The booklet is interesting and refined, with some black and white photos with a retro effect.
The notes on the instruments used are exhaustive.
Here are some listed out of curiosity: Martin D 28-32 Acoustic, 1954 Gibson ES 295, 1950 Fender 6 String Lap Steel.
Last but definitely not least, the presence of an exhaustive note on Gatton curated by Brawner Smoot, Washington, D.C.
Ultimately, it is undoubtedly a musician of legendary status, and this can also be seen in his other musical works.
