Music reviews of Johnny Hiland

Music Review: take it in context and ENJOY!
Rating: 4 Stars

I take some issue with reviewers grousing because they "knew hiland could play better." there's NOTHING unimpressive or lackluster on this album. I'm overjoyed to have bought it. I heard this guy for the first time on "Prairie Home Companion" and was blown away. But one has to wonder what people expect from a very technically skilled player's first release. As a musician of 20+ years I've come to realize that if you put all your energy into making a record that is intended to cause other guitarists to promptly commit seppuku after listening to it, then you're NOT going to sell a lot of albums. The sad truth is that the percentage of the music consuming populous that actually wants to buy an "all guitar, all JAW DROPPING technique" album is so small that Steve Vai couldn't really make that much money off producing it. I don't know very much about Peter Collins (the producer of this disc), but I have to say that he put together a GOOD, listenable, rock/country/instrumental album, that people besides guitar players can or would listen to. My father's appreciation for "guitar music" doesn't extend much farther than a duets album Chet Atkins and Les Paul recorded decades ago, but a testament to "Johnny Hiland"'s composition and production comes from the fact that after hearing it in my car on the way home from picking him up at the airport, he had my mother call me and put it on his christmas list. Bingo: another twelve bucks for executive producer Steve Vai. More often than not musicians have very little control over an album once the producers start talking. I enjoyed this album a lot. It has fine, fast articulate playing, and Mr. Big's rhythm section backing up a GREAT guitarist. Sheehan and Torpy do a fantastic job of pretending that they're rented session players, and I really hope they're on Hiland's next release. My only beef is the cornball sax solos that crop up a coupe of times. I could do without those. The bottom line is: if you're waiting for the return of Danny Gatton, wait for Hiland to get a couple of discs under his belt and then produce his OWN album. Until then, this album might be a little commercial friendly, but I still don't know too many players who could nail every note on this recording the way Johnny Hiland does. Take this disc in context, don't expect a lost Gatton recording, and you won't be disappointed.
