nother talented artist on my list of bands/artists I enjoy from Atlanta, GA; (Follow For Now, Sevendust, Stuck Mojo & The Duke).
Have to say this is a first for me; reviewing a solo guitarist's recording. I will do my best. I'm not going to get into techniques and all that jazz.
Not being a huge connoisseur of instrumental rock guitar work, where do I begin? For the record, I have heard songs from the likes of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson. This guy Mike Martin is in their class! Good rock is good rock! 'Nuff said!
2 of 5 is a very good collection of instrumental rock and hard rock songs. From songs "Living The Good Life" and its upbeat catchy lead that puts me in a good mood; to "2 Of 5"'s hard driving guitar that make me want to move around; to the King's X vibe "Salute"; to the jazzy "The Trouser Trout". It all adds up to me; a real good CD!
