ames Byrd returns with a vengeance!! The Byrd fly's high on this epic release of great guitar music. In my opinion - "this is his best release of his career". James proves once again why he is the premier guitarist for the new millennium. This release surpasses anything that has been released by any guitarist in the year 2001.
YOU MUST BUY THIS CD!
The nine tracks on this CD all shine from both a compositional and production point of view. James blazes his way through each compositions relying heavily on his updated signature guitar sound - a sound that is as fresh and exciting today as it was back in the days of "Octoglomerate" or "Son of Man". I don't know what James has done but man these songs sound good. Everything sounds so fresh and unique. I love how the guitar solos jump out at you drawing you into the listening experience. The vocal work of Michael James Flatters is just way to good - this guy can really sing. He contributes in such a great way by enhancing the compositions through harmony and well thought out lyrics. There is nothing trendy or cliched in these songs. The whole CD has a very positive vibe about it drawing the listener into the journey and a mighty journey it is. James has really outdone himself on FBT9. He has charted a new course, set a new standard for over all album production and provided some of the best guitar playing in the history of recorded music.
