everal guest artists on this round with Wayne's fantastic guitars. Th' title tells it
all... these are definitely SONGS (not chicken-scratch noise sculptures), &
they (all) reach right in & grab your spirit - make it sing! Shades of Santana's
most recent efforts, but distinctly Mr. Johnson's fingers. The compositions
are allowed to s-t-r-e-t-c-h out and take their own sweet time; no one-hit
wonders on the album.
We've reviewed Johnson's works before, & always found them attractive
(especially if you love th' fire inherent in Latin-based musics). Patterns are
similar to songs you've heard (all these years), but Wayne Wesley infuses the
performances with high-end energy that will have you clackin' yer' castanets from
the opener to the end-run. I don't (really) feature this as "road music", but
a coupla' margaritas on your patio with Wayne's songs will have you whippin'
out your Zorro sword to make yer' mark on th' lawn... heh! heh!
Thoroughly enjoyable, this gets a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from us!
