Now, if you’re into guitar music and guitar players and you have not heard of Yvette Young over the past few years, then I’m guessing you may have been trapped in a cave or you may have left this planet all together. She is such a breath of fresh air in what has become seemingly an Olympic event with modern guitarists to see how many notes and sweeps you can squeeze into the smallest amount of time. Her note choices and sense of melody, coupled with the way she plays is breathtaking and the sheer joy on her face will tell you when she plays it is her definite happy place.
I love all of this album and find it such a calming experience to listen to. If you’re expecting shred city then forget it. There are no wasted notes here, just beauty. It’s hard to pick a favourite but I will go with either Firebird or Merlin as these are the two tracks that resonate with me the most as the melody and groove are so cool on them both.
Do yourself a favour and buy this record, you will not regret it.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
