here is the super short version: GO BUY THIS CD NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
for those of you that want to hear a litte more read on......i went and downloaded this cd yesterday from amazon for $8.99......great price and since i got it on my computer I listened to it at work all the way thru and then burned a disc for my car and listened to all the way thru a couple of more times last night while doing some errands.
this cd is fabulous!!!!! let me break it down like this;
1) sonically it sounds great.....all of the instruments...not just guitar tone.....it's a very well recorded cd....in fact, it sounds so good that it wouLD appeal to me to listen to just because of how well it was recorded.
2) specifically, the guitar tones are incredible.....gonzo has done a masterful job of creating a number of great tones out of his boogie....never harsh, never dull.....but always right in your face in a powerful but pleasant way.......his use of effects are spot on.....guitar is dry and in your face when needed and wet and ambient when needed by the song.
3) the performances are to die for.......great guitar playing.......some of the bass parts are off the charts creative......and I found myself at times focsuing on the great bass playing a great deal. vocally I love gonzo's unique voice.....it fits the songwriting extremely well and i love great singers that dont sound like the next guy down the street.
4) the songs are extremely well written......just when you think you know where it's going BOOM here's a big ole arrangement curve ball for ya!!!! LOL....it's great to my ears though becuase I get so tired of the same ole songwriting cliches.....batsbrew is very unique from a songwriting standpoint and how the songs are arranged. some of the changes and chord sequences remind me of the quirkiness of steve vai and other folks that seem to be willing to break that typical verse, chorus, verse, chorus bridge, chrous fourmula.
I just cant emphasize enough how strongly I recommend to my fellow boogie board members to guy buy this CD. Great use of a boogie amp.....great songwriting and we need to support our fellow artists.....this cd is certainly deserving of our support......I dont know gonzo at all and simply have become a fan of his songs via the posts on this board....i just know that I am extremely pleased that I went ahead and bought this cd......i hope you guys go do the same..........WELL DONE GONZO!!!!!!!!
