Paul Rose - Magic City:
I'm not sure exactly how old this CD is, Amazon reckons 2002 but I suspect it's a bit older. If you don't know of Paul Rose, then he's from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, mid-50s, and the best accolade would be "guitarist's guitarist". Starting with an award from non-other than Rory Gallagher, Rose has Guitar Magazine - Guitarist of The Year. Not a guy to really head a major band, but there's an impressive list of who he's played, produced and sessioned for. Actually, Paul is just happy to pop up anywhere locally and just make you jaw drop at how nonchalantly he can spellbind a room with 6 strings.
Anyway, the album; 45 minute instrumental, varied styles, from Satriani type rockers to more delicate pieces like the cover of I Only Have Eyes For You and a re-working of My Favourite Things which makes Mary Poppins sound like she was scored by Dave Brubeck. There's also a beefed-up Walk Don't Run which segues for a while into Still I'm Sad.
Not an album to set your ear-hair alight, but oozes class and a worthy dig round the bargain-end of Amazon...

Give back the lemons. Why were the lemons free? What's wrong with the lemons?
