Wings Of Gold features a total of twelve tracks of melodic, guitar-driven hard rock with progressive and neo-classical metal influences. In addition to the extraordinary guitar playing by Jeffrey Ryan Smoots throughout the record, each composition displays an attention to song structure and instrumental dynamics, making for some highly listenable tracks. Instrumental fans will love the ambitious, neo-classical opening tune, "Intro". Wings Of Gold also features the powerhouse drumming and precussion work of David Beardsley. As Smoots states, "We sought to achieve a paradox -- create songs that are easily understood by the listener, yet are still challenging to play for the musician." Hard Rock/Progressive, total running time, 48:54 - J.R.S. @ iTunes!
