The opening cut, Blue Sky Morning, will give listeners a taste of what's to come, moving from a monstrous wall-of-sound guitar grind to soaring vocals to Dann Huff's lightning-strike guest solo. The CD moves seamlessly from a wall of sound to the jazz-inspired, Roger Waters meets George Benson tone of the metropolitan Always Been Her, then marches forward to the jaw-dropping enfilade of Hero Shuffle, featuring both Eric Johnson and Phil Keaggy to compliment Rex's own barrage of string-stretching guitar artillery. Half the fun of listening is trying to figure out who is playing at any given time. While the CD explores the outer limits of guitar
artistry, it never forgets the craft of the song itself. Rex teams
with veteran writers like Tom Douglas to provide a masterfully built
foundation of songwriting on which Rex and his friends nail together
a house of rock 'n roll magic. From the all-out attitude of Another
Player In My Game to the sensuous and melodic Circle With No End,
the lyrics match the intensity of the guitar licks by pushing both
emotional and sonic boundaries. The auditory craftsmanship of this
CD is truly inspiring. Listen to these samples and judge for yourself. |
