Electric Gypsy Aug 17, 2009
Electric Gypsy has to be one of the greastest guitar compositions ever. A hendrixy intro, smooth jazz George Benson style verses with very expressive string bends and pinch harmonics. A touch SRV could be heard on the bridge to the chorus where hendrix style licks can be had again. Thru the climax the energy rises and Satriani like shredding can be heard before setting againg in to a soft resolution simillar in style to the intro. Note that my references to other guitarrists are here just to give you an idea of the colors that Andy uses as these guitar players are more recognizable to more people than Andy. The thruth is Andy has a style and sound all of his own and would not be fare to say he is just like or coping anyone else. I love this whole CD but other songs worth mentioning are: I Remember Stevie (and obvious musical reference to Stevie Ray Vaughan), Getting Better and Pink Champagne Sparkle. To end I will also have to say that the sense of groove and rythm composition he displays in his songs are just the best I have heard of any modern guitar hero.
Andy is absolutely the best guitarist on the planet Jun 17, 2008
I know i'm goin' to catch all kinds of grief for the title of this review, but its my belief that it's 100% true. Yes, better than hendrix/clapton/whomever. Andy doesnt need to light his guitar on fire, or play a four necked guitar (that's you, Michael Angelo Batio), or do any kind of theatrical junk. Andy is a masterful musician with a command of the instrument unlike any I've ever seen or heard before. Every note is delivered with such soul! I'm a guitarist as well and I play all the time, but if i'm listening to andy I feel the need to (once the albums done playing) go pick up my guitar and spend the rest of the day playing. That to me is the measure of a truly fantastic guitar player. His feel is incredible, his tone is second to none, and the composition and phrasing are just perfection. Pick up all his albums, especially this one and Resolution, and the two EarXtacy albums. You won't regret it. I'm going to get to finally see him play and meet him this week, and I'm so excited to see the best guitar player of my generation. Andy rocks!
Nothing compares... Feb 11, 2008
After listening to Andy Timmons, I realized how everything I've heard before is just not as good. This CD is loaded with tunes that actually sound good... REALLY good!
best and most complete electric guitar player around Aug 11, 2007
if you love guitar, you'll love Andy's work. Not only he got the chops. but he's a great composer. If you think Steve Vai, Richie Kotzen, Paul Gilbert, Joe Satriani, etc, etc are great, this album is for you. It's like Satriani meets Eric Johnson plus more.
What an incredible discovery! Jul 10, 2007
Where have I been? This CD has been out for 3 or 4 years, but I just recently discovered Andy. This disc is amazing, top to bottom. What a fantastic player and composer.
Get this one before Resolution. It's the better of the two, IMHO. "Super 70's" instantly made it to my 'Top 100 of all time' playlist on my iPod.
If you like guitar albums (Satriani, Vai, etc.), this is a no-brainer.
