Evil voices might argue that Mike Stern's own publications have "more than enough guitar" included. If he teams up as for this production with a second guitar player, then would have to already be someone who by him ideally so different that he can give it duly counter (point). But here is his (me possibly cope yet entirely unknown) strings partner Eric Johnson, whom I also googled now have no desire, because he is on this production as well as full booming Gitarrenhaudrauf proves as Mike Stern, who now already for three decades repeatedly herunternudelt the same licks. Anyone who hears for the first time and is on rocking speed orgies, may well be impressed. Who knows the rest of the work of Mike Stern, where it hides some real treasures, which is yawning while listening to this album, at best, but his enervated most likely case if the eternal recurrence of the same. Perhaps Stern should times get together with Bill Frisell or with someone like Julian Lage. This could be really exciting!
