Review of "Walkabout"

pix


@ iTunes
letter mpressive instrumentals from chameleonic Swiss player.

And so heaves the collective sigh of disappointment as the latest instrumental guitar album lands - the format is just so hackneyed. Thank heavens then for Dominik Ruegg, aka Cuthead.

His hip bone is connected to madman Christophe Godin's humerus from the off, and instead of the usual bare-arsed Vai, Satch, gilbert and Gambale cloth, Cuthead brings in frenetic Beckism along with a slab of blues-derived double-stops. complex chords and jazzy bits that traverse lines left by Mike Landau and John Scofield. The third quarter of the album is rather less compelling, but the drop-jaw workout of FONK, the shades-of-Jimi THE SWINGING SINK and the twisted jazzy blue SQUANKY AH..demand the undivided attention and utmost respect of punters and peers alike. Swiss soul - who'd have thunk it?
