Music reviews of Guitar
Music Review: Solo guitar.
Rating: 3 Stars
Sonny Sharrock's "Guitar" reintroduced the guitarist to the world as a solo performer. An album of overdubbed guitar performances, the tracks on the album consist of Sharrock overdubbing guitar lines (usually a rhythm and a lead part, but sometimes as many as four lines) to build songs, covering a variety of sounds and and genres, from funky blues ("Blind Willie") to aggressive psychedelic rock ("Kula-Mae") to something totally unique in the extended suite, "Princess Sonata".
Sharrock's playing is sublime-- he was a guitarist of seemingly endless inventiveness and technique-- drawing from masters of a number of genres, but synthesizing something wholly unique out of them, his playing is at times aggressive and foreceful and at times delicate and beautiful. Having said that, I think Sharrock falters a bit without the benefit of a concrete rhythm section, there are moments of stunning power on this record, but he tends to spiral loose a bit more than I'd care for and his work with bands (in particular the stunning "Ask the Ages") I've found much more enjoyable.
