Free Music Notes for The Sky, The Stars & The Great
Free Music Review: Solid record, but...
Hit: 5 Stars
Blues Saraceno somewhat broke out as a young and up and coming guitar player with a string of solo guitar albums in the late 80's early 90's. After laying low for much of the 90's and a brief stint in Poison, Blue's attempted in shed the "instrumental guitar soloist" label by forming Gorgeous George, later named Transmission OK.
Fans of Blue's earlier records may be disappointed in this effort because it's not a "guitar" kind of record. What it really is, sort of a modern rock, slightly pop record. Blues really goes out of his way to focus on his song writing abilities as well as showcase the other guys in the band. Not to say there is not guitar on the record, when Blues decides to let go, he can really tear it up!
Unfortunately, according to Blues on his website, the label never really promoted it and it sort of fell into obscurity. Hardcore Blues "Guitar" fans didn't care for it much, and with limited exposure to the masses, pop and modern rock fans probably never new it existed.
It's tough sell to sell pop music to the masses I guess. You probably need a hook, good timing, and lots of luck. This record although solid, probably had none of the three.
It too bad the story of this band ended they way it did, because I would really enjoyed a follow up record and to see this band live. Even if I would have preferred a few more solos here and there, I really enjoyed the direction he was taking musically. Sadly, Blues has no plans to continue the band and is currently pursuing other interests.
