Free Music Notes for Mistaken Identity
Free Music Review: Vernon stretches out!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the album I had hoped Vernon would make all along. I first discovered the man on Ronald Shannon Jackson's "Barbeque Dog" and had been keeping my eye on him since before Living Colour was formed. While I LOVE Living Colour, this album shows the guitar master really pushing the boundaries of creativity like I was waiting for him to do. He's not relegated to packing his solos into 10 second flurries; he really lets the lines flow. The DJing and bass clarinet, along with the super phat beats, really complement his playing nicely. I'm glad he kept it instrumental too (save for one or two raps, and some funny interludes) as his melodies are strong enough on their own. This album should be getting the credit that Satriani and Vai always get. It's way more creative and progressive than their stuff. I've played this album for different friends who are into rock, funk, rap, jazz, whatever, and everyone always asks "What is this? This is great!" Also, this is not easy to find in regular record stores. So get it here, now! THIS IS VERNON AT HIS BEST! I hope he makes another solo album soon.Free Music Review: A hidden gem

I agree with most of the postings here, although I have a VERY DIFFICULT time finding how anyone could find this cd garbage! This is an INCREDIBLE CD! Vernon loses his mind and combines funk, avant=garde (ornette colemanish) jazz and triphiphop in a way that just gells! While this cd is now 10 years old, I have been playing it and letting folks know about it for at least 9 of those years! (lol) First, DJ Logic shows off his chops on "mistaken identity" where Vernon is understated, yet shows what being a true guitarist/musician is all about. CP Time has segments that make Jimi Hendrix proud. Psychic Friend takes typical rock playing to another level with the odd metered break. AND it gets better from there! If you like living colour, if you like jazz/rock/hiphop/funk, this is a good cd to pick up. IT ROCKS!!!!!!! This is a VERY GOOD CD! VERY GOOD! Reid has chops and shows them. Reid is interested in taking the MUSIC somewhere else, and again, HE SHOWS IT! Reid has many influences which spotlight his depth as a musician/guitarist, and HE SHOWS IT! Enough said!Free Music Review: IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS

THIS IS THE BEST CD OF 1996. LET ME TRY AND QUALIFY THIS STATEMENT. THIS CD HAS THIS MANY MUSICAL GENRES IN IT: FUNK, JAZZ-FUSION, ROCK, BLUES, WORLD MUSIC, REGGAE, NEW AGE, COMEDY AND SPOKEN WORD. OUT OF 17 SONGS, 13 SONGS RECEIVED A 5 STAR RATING FROM ME. THE REASONS FOR THIS ARE AS FOLLOWS: THE BASS IS BOOMIN'; THE FUNK IS OVERFLOWIN'; THE GUITAR WORK IS BLAZIN'; THE GROOVE NEVER STOPS. AND THE MUSICIANSHIP IS OUTSTANDING. I WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS CD, AND YOU WILL BE TOO. UNFORTUNATELY I COULD ONLY GIVE THIS CD 5 STARS. IT REALLY DESERVES 10!!! TAKE IT FROM ME, THIS IS THE BEST CD YOU WILL BUY THIS YEAR OR ANY OTHER YEAR. SATISFACTION IS MOST DEFINITELY GARANTEED.Free Music Review: Groovy, thoughtful, wailing, ENTERTAINING!

Wow! I've had this CD since it first came out and I have to say that it is one for the ages. I always seem to come back and listen, and actually enjoy it as much or more every time. I have even bought the cd THREE times! Once broken, once disappeared. This is one of the most original blends of music U will ever hear. BUY IT, you cannot be disappointed! There is everything here, Funk, soul, rock, jazz, comedy, R&B..but does not conventionally adhear to any style. Amazing stuff! The only question is when (if) Vernon will do it again!Free Music Review: It's more fun to listen to then a barrel full of monkeys.

After hearing the title track from this album, I just had to hear the rest of the album. The different types of music hold your interest through out the cd. Also, the sillier songs like "Important Safety Instructions" make it so there's always something to play to your friends. I highly recommend this album.
