After two hugely successful instrumental albums in "Dreamscapes" and "Guitar Odyssey", Austrian guitar virtuoso Milan Polak returns with his first solo vocal album entitled Straight. The album is powered by 13 rockin' tracks that not only showcase Milan's guitar prowess but also his great bluesy vocals backed by a killer band of Randy Coven (bass, ex-Malmsteen, Ark, MCM), John Macaluso (drums, ex-Malmsteen, Ark, John Macaluso, Union Radio) and Fabio Trentini (bass). On the change of direction, "I had started to realize that playing instrumental guitar music only offers limited possibilities, so I decided to take a step into another direction and write songs with lyrics and vocals to reach a wider audience." Fans of Milan's guitar work will not find any lack of fret board prowess but the addition of vocals gives a more balanced packaged.
