Stuart Hamm
Radio Free Albemuth
The Story
"Radio Free Albemuth" was Stuart Hamm's first solo record and features some mind-boggling bass work along with guitar on several tracks by Joe Satriani. Hamm provides a haunting bass cover of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata", as well as showing his range on "Dr. Gradus Ad Parnasum". A bit of trivia: some of the tracks ("Flow My Tears" and the title song, which features a blazing Allan Holdsworth) were inspired by the novels of Philip K. Dick. "Radio Free Albemuth" highlights include the humorous "Country Music (A Night In Hell) and "Sexually Active".
