4.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Chops, June 19, 2001

By 

Beth (Milwaukee, WI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alligator (Audio CD)

This album is fantastic! I bought it expecting it to be mostly guitar like BG's first solo effort. Not so! This album definitely has an emphasis on song writing. The songs are powerful and melodic. The quality of the production is almost perfect. You can hear all of the instruments, the vocals don't get drowned. It's just great, heavy, fun music. Brad Gillis shows off his technique with class.

I love this cd, and highly recommend it to any guitar fan.

3.0 out of 5 stars A second effort..., July 1, 2001

Made in ITA, Serial# FRCD-081, Playing Time 48:51

This is BG's second solo effort, and is a significant departure from his first, more guitar-driven, album "Gilrock Ranch".

With a title like "Alligator" you'd expect power, music with a crunch (get it?) Well, this album is fairly tame, and a bit flat.

The emphasis is more on "songs" than what I expected, and the guitar work is generally average (but there are some great moments.)

Fairly uneven in its enthusiasm across the 10 tracks, and more radio-friendly than its predecessor, I was mostly disappointed: not that I expected a NIGHT RANGER album (which it isn't), but there's nothing on here that's really outstanding, except maybe for the title cut.

Enjoyable overall, except perhaps through the almost instrumental "Tanbark Tyrant" with some children's "la-la-la" vocals, it still remains a valiant effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got Alligator? You should!, June 3, 2000

Katana Rogue (Studio City, CA United States) - See all my reviews

Brad Gillis, yet again, produces another blistering hot solo album. It's been too many years since "Gilrock Ranch" was released but this wonderfully crafted masterpiece (called "Alligator") was well worth the wait!

Gillis continues to amaze me with his spiritual style of guitar playing. Whether it's slow and melancholy or an all out rocker, his playing absolutely sings! And with Gary Moon on vocals, you've a combination that can't be beat. Moon's savvy crooning adds a nice, sexy touch to this fabulous piece of work! Go Brad!

If you're thinking about getting this CD, don't hesitate!
