I'm not a big fan of the "artist plus randomly selected guests" format so it was with a bit of trepidation I approached the new Lee Ritenour...until I saw the guest list. I was absolutely stunned at the list of some of the best guitarists on the planet. Over twenty of them,including John Scofield, Steve Lukather ,BB King, George Benson, Slash, Pat Martino, Neal Schon, Keb'Mo, Taj Mahal, Andy McKee, Joe Bonamassa, Mike Stern and Jonny Lang! Also appearing,making his debut recording,is sixteen-year-old guitarist Shon Boubil,grand prize winner in Ritenour's Yamaha Six String Theory guitar competition. Producing and arranging,Ritenour blends rock, blues ,jazz, acoustic, country and classical into a seamless celebration of guitar. In addition to playing guitar,vocals are heard from BB King, Robert Cray, Vince Gill, Keb' Mo,Taj Mahal, Joe Bonnamassa and Jonny Lang. Joining this truly all-star guitar crew is an A-list rhythm section including Joey DeFrancesco, Larry Goldings, Tal Wilkenfeld, Nathan East, Vinnie Colaiuta and Simon Phillips.This one is NOT to be missed!
