Music Appreciation
Related: About this forumBought this solo record when it 1st came out back in the 90s
Expecting a stone crushing metal guitar opus.
And instead found a musically dense multilayered album that forced me to make an investment in time and attention to "Get it"
Vernon had a fat account from Living Color, he wasn't looking for a payday so he just made the record he wanted to make.
It's worth your time

(13,175 posts)I love the Music Appreciation Group here on DU more than any music focused discussion board I've found - There is infinitely less snobbery and pissing on folks tastes and choices than most boards - While also having some really knowledgeable folks posting.
I've learned so much here these past --- Holy shit --- almost 6 years now.

This one is a keeper for sure. A truly magnificent album all the way through.

You could probably throw in Laurie Anderson and the Golden Palominos in on the slightly more mainstream side of things. I was so into that stuff when I was in college. And yeah, Vernon Reid is a really versatile and creative guitarist.
