NEAL SCHON is perhaps one of the world\u00b4s most recognized guitarists. From his early days, 15 years of age, with SANTANA to the second coming of JOURNEY he has kept his calendar busy like few others. 19 top 40 singles, 25 gold and platinum discs speak for themselves too. Now he somehow found time off from JOURNEY to reunite with the bands former drummer Steve Smith, keyboard players Igor Len and Jan Hammer. All strings arrangements come courtesy of the guitarist himself. Next stop is more concerts with JOURNEY, so how did this squeeze job come out?
\nFirst up this is a mixed bag of styles including just about everything Neal has tried out during his career. I personally prefer the rock and blues tracks, especially the very emotional notes of slow blues track \u201cBlue Rainbow\u201d. The title track and \u201cTumbleweed\u201d are also favorites. But the slight jazz of \u201cFifty Six, and a whole string of soft emotions like \u201cTrue Emotion\u201d and \u201cSong of the Wind II\u201d are definitely world class. I could have done without the uninspired \u201cSix String Waltz\u201d, the possibly under-developed Irishness of \u201cIrish Field\u201d and \u201cTransonic Funk\u201d, as I almost never enjoy funk I n any form. But as a whole this effort, which was basically laid down in four days according to the info, really captures the guitarist and his ideas. And, of cause, there is a masterful touch.<\/p>\n
