Known for his impeccable taste and skill, veteran rocker Dave Edmunds interprets
some of his favorite tunes through a purely
instrumental approach, and like Jeff Beck
he can make his guitar sing and cry without
the aid of pesky vocals. A few tunes fall prey
to the home studio trap of artificial drum
and cliched keyboard sounds (no loop/program sequencing, though), but his guitar sounds great throughout. Superb song choices here (Moody Blues, Beach Boys, Booker T and more), and his take on Kate Bush’s “Wuthering Heights” is truly inspired. – David Arnson
