dward Box is one of the latest guitar slingers in the Lion Music stable. His latest release Plectrumhead is one enjoyable ride down rock & roll avenue! Catchy, melodic, big crunchy cord progressions, blues based riffing with shred sensibilities; are all captured throughout the 12 songs with the emotion and execution of a guitar master.
Inspired by the likes of Van Halen, and George Lynch (Dokken), Mr. Box has released a high energy CD that keeps ones head banging and toe tapping. Edward exhibits a very melodic approach to all of his song structures and has one of the better senses of rhythm I have heard in many years. Much like his influences Edward showcases melody over flash and comes up the winner throughout all his compositions.
Highlights from the CD include the title track, "Plectrumhead plus the slamming "Closer" and "130R" with there 80's styling. Another favorite of this reviewer is the Satriani influenced "Blue Skies Above". All around just good old rock and roll played with finesse. This is a release for all generations and is great uplifting party music. A strong release from a true guitar maestro!
