Kevin Ferguson Review of "Restless, Reckless & Wild" @ iTunes By: Glenn Astarita f you dig the likes of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Greg Howe, then Oregon-based guitarist Kevin Ferguson's fancy fretwork should interest you too. With bass and drums, and guest artists chipping in on saxophone and tabla, Ferguson goes the high-octane route via fiery licks and occasional use of Eastern modalities. Along with his unusual tunings and complex time signatures, the guitarist sports a rip-roaring but trebly e-guitar sound that sometimes seems to wash itself out. But Ferguson can hold his own with the creme de la creme of progressive rock guitarists. Indeed, at times his mind-bending technique suggests supernatural powers. © Glenn Astarita / All About Jazz Pickless In Portland Marvaness Backdoor Csardas Child's Play Dangerous Ample Etude Palm Eye Dream Fireproof Interplay
