Description
Contains 10 slamming guitar instrumentals, including De Tones signature version of Copeland’s “Hoedown” and 3 vocal tracks in the metal/hip hop/industrial genre augmented with some mind boggling guitar passages. Strange World takes the listener on a musical journey through this world class guitarists palette of colors – all churned out with serious intensity and kick ass rock-n-roll backbeat. Guesting on the CD are drummer Van Romaine (Steve Morse), Adam Holzman (ex-Miles Davis and Grover Washington, Jr. keyboardist), metal singer/rapper Ric Prince, and a host of other world class musicians. This is quite an album and covers a very wide musical spectrum. Some may like the diversity and some may not, but no matter how you look at it, you get your moneys worth of great music here. Ray has presented tunes that span heavy rock/metal, acoustic, eastern, jazz, etc. Some tunes utilize vocals, some do not. The mix of styles helps to contrast the different pieces and makes for an interesting and potent presentation. A surprise at every turn. DeTone plays with lots of feel, very smooth, and always in control. Nice work from a talented player.
Slammin’ guitar instrumentalist-from progressive rock to shred metal, medieval chamber to Greek gypsy, twisted blues to rockabilly – all churned out with serious intensity and kick ass rock-n-roll back-beat.
