I love this CD. The things that this guy can do with an acoustic guitar (or any guitar for that matter) are amazing. He is a truly talented musician and has covered a lot of ground in his career.

If you are only familiar with him from his Racer X or Mr. Big days, his solo stuff is a little different but in a good way. He is a serious musician, but not a serious person (go check out his website, it's hilarious). Almost all of his solo songs are light-hearted or fun in some way. Bob Dylan he is not, but he is a great songwriter in his own style. You can just tell that he is having the time of his life while playing them.

The best description I could give would be melodic pop guitar hard rock.

Good stuff! Nice to hear Paul Gilbert and Linus of Hollywood doing

it live at the Hard Rock Japan! Nice to hear guitar work like Pauls, always a pleasure! Awesome vocals, Thanks Paul! I am very

pleased with this CD. A good value too! As my friends can verify, I am a cheap SOB, so I tell you "Great stuff for the bucks!" Thanks!

I happened to stumble across this cd without realizing it was by a monster guitar player, and from the little I've heard of his other material, this is a nice different kind of style for him. All his songs are great, even with a cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen," which came out nicely. There's beautiful playing from both people, the second person being Linus of Hollywood, as far as I know (I don't really know who he is). Nevertheless, the songs are all wonderful; I particularly like "I Like Rock" which is a pretty catchy song, as most of the songs are. This is a cd you should get, but since its an import and therefore is quite pricey, you may want to preview it first. If it comes out in the U.S. you should pick it up.
