I would highly recommend this CD to anyone who enjoys instrumental guitar based music. There is a lot of variety here. The line up of musicians is very good, some really nice sax playing in particular. It is very upbeat generally, and the guitar player is very talented. You can tell he has some jazz training so it is a nice blend of rock, jazz etc.

I have listened to it three times in a row and I'm sure I'll be listening to it regularly. I was unfamiliar with this group, purchased it from the sound samples only, and I'm very very satisfied. Enjoy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great early rock-n-roll lead guitar material ., October 27, 1999

Possibly one of the best groups in their day for pleasant guitar listening led by their chart topper, Guitar Boogie Shuffle. It was one of a kind and still is.

IF YOU LIKE A HOT LEAD GUITAR BAND LED BY THEIR CHART TOPPING " GUITAR BOOGIE SHUFFLE" HIT, YOU WILL ENJOY THIS CD. THE VIRTUES PLAY SOME TOE TAPPING MUSIC. I WISH THEY HAD MORE CD'S AVAILABLE TO LISTEN TO.
