he debut album But of Course from Paul Yates is a versatile album with
influences referring to country rock, blues, folk and Celtic music. Paul
plays as well acoustic as electric guitar. On some pieces Paul gets assist
from a bass player, keyboards and drums. There are some nice pieces on
this album which soothes the mind, as Fairy Tales and Something May Come.
Solid melody line building techniques are ballads like Sunflower and Forgive
Yourself. Pure blues rock gets you on Hideaway Blues. Hammer on and Pull
off techniques are heard in a descending tonal pattern on Goulburn N.S.W,
which has a country taste .Rich overtones can be heard on Skywalk. The
whole album gives you the impression of very smooth guitar music.
