Bio / Background
Beyond the Velvet Rope, the first cd of instrumentals from guitarist J. Russ Willoughby, is melodic metal at it's best. Willoughby's axework provides an abundance of strong hooks and melodies that stay with the listener. These are songs, not someone playing a thousand notes per second. Fans of Satriani, Schenker, Moore (Gary), and even Vandenberg will definitely want to check this out.
In addition to playing all the guitars on Beyond the Velvet Rope, Willoughby also handles drums and most of the keyboards. Two tunes, "The Open Road", and "You Still Move Me" feature the keyboard work of David Frey.
A well-rounded package, Beyond the Velvet Rope has all the elements that make a heavy guitar instrumental cd great: Chunky tones, tastefully executed solos, catchy hooks and an excellent production.
