New Tony MacAlpine is *awesome*

[sccaldwell]

I've never been a *huge* fan…always appreciated his talent, but his albums never really hit me. This one has…it's his most recent CD, called simply "Tony MacAlpine."

If you're a fan of instrumental music, this is well worth buying. It's not just a wank-fest, as instrumental discs often are…there's plenty of shredding going on, but the *songs* are actually good, too!

Enjoy!

Craig
P.S. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, the full disc is available for streaming, or buy via the usual channels.

You got me all excited with the subject, as I didn't even realize there WAS a new Tony MacAlpine coming out...... Then I realized you were talking about the s/t disc that came out three years ago!!!

MacAlpine was one of my favorites from the golden age of shred guitarists, and I don't think he has ever put out a sub-par album..... Also really enjoy his work with Ring of Fire (although the last album had some issues, to say the least).

Sorry, didn't realize it was that old…it's new to me, I guess.

I'm really looking forward to him touring here in August. He's playing "Maximum Security" complete, which is one of my all time favorites. Looking forward to hearing the new album.
