Jeff Urso Review of "Straight Ahead" @ iTunes By: Robert Silverstein one man band album that really rocks, Straight Ahead introduces the guitar talents of Jeff Urso. Raised in the Chicago area on the music of Kiss and Van Halen, Urso displays a knack for writing atmospheric hard driving rock instrumental tunes in the spirit of modern masters like Satriani and Vai. Urso sets himself apart from the pack with some soaring guitar tracks that also bring to mind the cinematic soundscapes of the greats like Jan Hammer. Among the many fine tunes on the ten track 33 minutes CD is a cool clocker called "Warm Day" to which Urso adds, "this song is best consumed w while listening in a quick sports car on a mid-summer afternoon with the windows down, sunroof open, convertible top down." Perfect action movie music or simply rip-roaring stuff to kick back and marvel at, Straight Ahead is a solid effort from a rising guitarist. © Robert Silverstein / MusicWeb Express 3000 Straight Ahead Feel Good Rhythmic Wave Low Down Down & Dirty Warm Day
