Editorial review
If you are starved for hard rock and blues influenced by the '70s era (? la Allman Brothers or Stevie Ray Vaughan), you would do well to check out guitarist/vocalist Alastair Greene's debut CD, A Little Wiser. Greene displays a monstrous ability for full-on blues-rock anthems. While some blues purists will no doubt chafe at his distorted Gibson bombast, those who prefer their blues amped up should be deafeningly pleased. Simply put, he goes for it. Greene has a strong, baritone voice that often distorts his mike as a song reaches its apex. There is a live feel to the album with few pauses between tracks, almost as if Greene and friends ran the set down in one take. Complementing Greene's heavily distorted and wah-wah'd aesthetic is the Hammond B-3 organ of Jim Calire, whose juicy keyboard smears keep things funky. Also an adept acoustic musician, Greene displays a romantic side on tracks like the bluegrass-infused "The Long Way Home," which showcases his steel-string guitar, banjo, and mandolin prowess. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Alastair Greene started playing guitar at age 15. Originally inspired by Hard Rock guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Jake E Lee, and Eddie Van Halen, his life and musical course was altered when a friend loaned him B.B. King’s ‘Live At The Regal’, Buddy Guy’s ‘A Man and the Blues, and Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘Couldn’t Stand The Weather’. Alastair attended the Berklee College of music from 90-’92 and has since been performing and recording around Southern California since the early 90s. His playing can be heard on his own CDs as well as recordings by Alan Parsons (Alan’s 2004 release ‘A Valid Path’), drum legend Aynsley Dunbar, Mitch Kashmar (Delta Groove recording artist), Bad Astronaut, world renowned Blues guitarist Frank Goldwasser, as well as a number of CDs by many independent artists.
QUOTES:
" If you long for the rock of the early-mid '70s, when it was dominated by players influenced by the blues, this one's for you.
