Guitar Speak Volume One Full Album

 

Guitar Speak Volume One Full Album

    

5 Stars = Masterpiece

IRS Records put out several "Guitar Speak" albums starting in 1988, with this album, in their "No Speak" series. This is my favorite of the series. It features 12 songs made especially for this album from 12 guitar legends. All instrumental, "Guitar Speak" volume one is as about as good as these type of various artists albums get. It's 12 melodic songs run from heavy, to funky, to almost fusion. Just about every cut here is a cut above the rest.

Eric Johnson's "Western Flyer" is my favorite here, the heaviest song I've heard from this great guitarist, though I only own his first three albums. To bad he didn't follow this route more!

For you guitar lovers out there, this one's a must have!
