5.0 out of 5 stars "Crank it up", August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Piranha Blues (Audio CD)

As Neal Schon recommends in the liner notes, "crank it up." This CD is incredible. As someone who has followed Neal throughout his career and is fond of both his work with and without Journey, this is a great addition to the collection. It is raw, it is bluesy, it is fantastic. The group apparentlly recorded most of the songs on the day they were written. It gives the feel of the CD such raw energy. Ross Valory and Prairie Prince provide the rhythm, which just shatters my subwoofer -- incredible. The CD is so different from Neal's latest work on Beyond the Thunder and Electric World for Higher Octave Music (both highly recommended). He really rips through his PRS guitar. I've been listening for days and am finding more and more in it that amazes me. I hope people will recognize with this CD that Neal is truly one of the top guitarists of today -- and diversified. He really is a master of so many different styles. A must buy!

AWESOME! THANK GOD NEAL AND HIS BAND DIDN'T OVER REHEARSE THESE SONGS.THE FACT THAT THE SONGS WERE RECORDED THE DAY THEY WERE WRITTEN HELPS HOLD ALL THE RAW ENERGY AND THE SOUL OF THE SONGS.WHEN YOU PUT THIS CD IN AND CRANK IT UP YOUR WHOLE BODY TINGLES FROM THE POWER AND FEEL GENERATED BY NEALS GUITAR PLAYING AND THE SOUL GENERATED BY THE RHYTHM SECTION.ALSO,I'VE NEVER HEARD OF THE SINGER BEFORE BUT HIS VOICE ADDS A TEXTURE THAT JUST BRINGS EVERYTHING FULL CIRCLE.THIS CD IS FOR ALL NEAL SCHON FANS AND PEOPLE THAT ENJOY GREAT GUITAR PLAYING WITH A COMBINED TASTE OF BLUES AND GOOD OLD ROCK AND ROLL.ENJOY AND ROCK ON.

Far from being just a traditional blues album this is traditionally-based blues rock,showcasing both the ferocity of Schon's axe attack and the smoothness and elegance he is known for.A collector's item!
