5.0 out of 5 stars Andy's best CD so far!, June 15, 2000

I was fortunate to get a copy of this directly from Andy before its US release. Being familiar with all of his other solo works, I was eagerly anticipating this release.

I think this ranks as the best solo disc from Andy, even given his other very good discs. This disc shows a great balance of vocals and instrumentals. Andy's voice is developing quite well and really fits well with his guitar playing.

Musically, the disc covers a lot of ground. And the songs really build well. I'm particularly fond of "Happenin' '68" - the ebb and flow of that song is great. Andy also breaks out the acoustic guitar in spots, too.

Overall, if you've ever enjoyed any of Andy's work, I think you'll be very impressed with what he's accomplished on this disc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Andy, you da man, November 19, 2000

Five stars are not enough for this amazing CD, Andy breaks it here with his best album yet.

Andy is hands down one of the best guitar slingers out there, in the same category with Vai, Satch and Eric Johnson, even toping them at times, always chosing the right notes.

Andy sings and plays electric and acoustic guitars, bass and fretless bass, electric sitar and E-bow - a tapping like guitar instrument, all with ease and virtousity to burn.

The album is full of amazing instrumental tunes and a few songs, The guitar freaks need'nt worry couse' these songs are amazing, melodic and shred heavy. The instrumental tracks will without a doubt hit you mercyless and leave you begging for more, he ripps on blues-rock-fusion thruout, plays a beutiful spanish guitar track, a mournful ballad and a sad lullaby.

For the fusion fans out there a very special guest appears on this cd, the amazing drummer Simon Phillips (Andy plays on his CD's "Another lifetime" and the live "Out of the blue"), who brought his band along to back Andy on a storng fusion track that Simon has written for the CD, as well as the closer a live version of "Cry for you" my pick for the best track on the album.

Andy definately matured to his own sound and it shows on this very recommended CD.

Revisting this CD today reminds me of just how killer a guitarist Andy Timmon's is and what an amazing CD this is...IMO Andy's best work and one of the greatest guitar albums ever recorded...simply incredible guitar work throughout the entire CD...some of the solo's still send shivers up my spine as they build to a blistering climax...Andy's playing just seems to flow effortlessly...he is truley one of the greatest rock guitarist period...it's no wonder we sold a so many of these CD's at the store...if you like tasty super melodic guitar shredding look no further than The Spoken & The Unspoken...this CD delivers the guitar goods and then some.
