saw this badass mofo in ATL at the city winery friday night. very intimate setting. al played a ton of shit i didnt even know and it was awesome. he also told a story about how he only got hired by chick corea cause his friend sent chick corea a demo tape of al playing guitar on acid

Album Rating: 4.0

he said "my dad always said the key to success is practice, practice, practice. well what i didnt tell him was the key to my success was acid, acid acid." and the crowd laughed their asses off, myself included. al also mentioned paco de lucia not being able to play unless he was stoned off his ass

Album Rating: 4.0

also it says a lot about my taste in music that there were more black people at this show than any other show ive ever attended. chatted with some black dudes in fuckin suits and church clothes about holdsworth, zappa, steely dan, you name it

Album Rating: 4.5

Every track here is great but maybe because I'm used t9 the quality of the trio version of Mediterranean Sundance but most tracks also left me wanting a bit more.



Except Race with devil....holy shit that might on the mt Rushmore of guitar instrumental tracks. Only other one off top of head I can throw up there with it is Cliffs of Dover.
