#1372 James Burton - The Guitar Sounds of James Burton

Dude's a legend, and he does get in some tricks on that guitar, working in all the between-note nuance you could want, soaring with acute shining edge, leaping on the runs, riding the decay. Mystery Train has that rollick rollin.

But instrumental cover albums (two originals notwithstanding) are the lowest form of music. There's not much soul here, sounding too muso and too pop all at once. The record's an ipod - sleek and expensive and cheap 2.5/5
