WEREWOLVES OF PORTLAND - VINYLE ROUGE

Description

THE SHRED MASTER IS BACK! Paul Gilbert is an accomplished artist, discovered with the highly respected Racer X in 1986 with the album 'Street Lethal'. In 1988, he left the band to form Mr. Big, one of the most acclaimed names of the era. Across four studio albums, the quartet achieved commercial success, reaching the top of the US singles chart in 1992 with 'To Be With You'. Now, with this 16th solo studio album, he proves that he can continue to raise the bar ever higher. Initially, the recording was supposed to take place in a studio with musicians. But suddenly, the world locked down, and other recording options had to be considered. Gilbert's solution allowed him to express his broad instrumental dexterity by playing all the instruments heard on the album! 'Werewolves Of Portland' is a remarkable album. It is fresh, vital, and takes the listener on a wonderful journey. For Gilbert, it's the development of a process that began on his previous album. "First the lyric writing, then the melody, then the guitar, then supporting all that with the other instruments - it's a fabulous discovery that really started on 'Behold Electric Guitar'. 'Werewolves Of Portland' was written the same way," he continues. "It's a much more traditional way of writing, a path I've tried to avoid for most of my career, since rock and roll has a spirit of being non-traditional."
