Review of "Curtis Reid"

pix
By: Kristian Selm

letter ure guitar, or any keyboard album (or instrumental album) lives with particular biases, that for the most part is glaringly real. Too often they serve to document a soloists ability as a means to eternity and stupidly forget that music should not only be the progression of notes but that one should not miss the opportunity to give the songs structure.

Guitarist Curtis Reid from Arizona overcomes the first hurdle without display of ego or ulterior motives because he receives support from various guest musicians, so that he can concentrate on his particular style of playing. This compliments the rhythm section naturally, who play out of real emotion and avoid the "canned music" sound. Stylistically, it progresses in the direction of guitar rock without speedy playing or frills, simply with heart that quickly makes it's point. It rocks, it grooves, the guitar synthesizer takes you to the outer limits -- Curtis Reid goes through the guitar pieces with variety, sometimes with a Dixie Dregs feeling, sometimes with really cool strokes over the strings.
