Alastair Greene "Through The Rain" CD Review by Scott Thomas
Well what do we have here...? A new Album by Alastair Greene. Oh boy, I've been looking forward to listening to this... I did a CD review a couple of years back for his “Walking In Circles” Album and what a fine Blues CD that is. However, what I'm hearing from my speakers this time is more in the guitar rock swing of things.
Yeah, from arena rock to singer-songwriter music this albums shines with genuine creativity and flair. No wonder why the infamous Alan Parson Project has Alastair as their Lead Guitarist and second vocalist. It's called pure talent mixed w/ years of workin' the barz, nite clubs, and large music venues playin' in front of thousands of screamin' rock fans.
Alastair Greene my not be a household name yet but he's definitely working on it with music like this. If you like Joe Bonamassa and guitar players like that, then I know you will totally groove to this fine production of 12 stellar tunes. The rock’n tune “By The Way” is also a collaborative effort w/ King’s X well-known guitarist Ty Tabor .

This record, while featuring some of his most impressive and extended guitar work to date, also reveals him to be a strong singer/songwriter in the blues/rock genre. Between Alastair's rock solid song writing, husky vintage blues voice and stellar guitar playing you won't be disappointed.
