Review of "Exotic Extremes"
|
By: Robert Silverstein
s guitarist Kevin Ferguson proved on his last CD, "Strad To Strat" - an album featuring electric guitar adaptations of classical violin music by Paganini, Bach and Vivaldi - no genre of music is safe from the electric guitar. Nor should it be as the guitarist points out on his new album of instrumental guitar renditions of various folk and dance musics from The Balkans, The Middle East and beyond. On his World Beat sound safari Ferguson receives top support from Chris Goldthorpe (bass) and percussionist Craig Carney. The accent here is squarely on Ferguson's lightening quick guitar reflexes as he skillfully mirrors the daredevil time signatures required in executing these rousing folk tunes. "Exotic Extremes" is a lively, colorful musical rendezvous for World Beat fans and guitar enthusiasts alike. Ferguson's web site is filled with number of strange and intriguing World-Beat main plays and side shows.
