10 FROM BILLY JOELApril 12, 2011
G3
The latest installment in the G3 saga, dreamt up by Satriani, and (usually) involving Steve Vai + one other, in this case Yngwie Malmsteen.In other words, perhaps the most extreme incarnation of G3 to date.By the way, a DVD also exists, with a different set list, for those who care.Satch is the consumate professional. His songs are flawlessly played, his band are as tight as spandex, and even the rhythm guitar is nicely audible, which adds to things well. The drummer shows just how good he is on the Potato Head song.Vai injects a nice bit of humour into his playing, and although he's only given 3 numbers on the CD, he strings them out and produces a very enjoyable middle section. And his playing is as good as ever. I also prefer the song choices here to the DVD.Now Yngwie is an acquired taste. Technically he's possibly the most advanced of the three (interviews with Satch and Vai tend to support this, before everyone lynches me!), but he is so fast and so relentless that some people just get turned off. I'm a longstanding fan, and his playing is jawdropping, but I can understand people not being so keen on him, especially when he performs Hendrix numbers "his way". What one has to realise is that Yngwie is a huge Hendrix fan himself, and isn't trying to be-little the great man in any way. His singing could be better, but he tries. I'd have liked some of his more "classic" instrumentals on this CD, but he has such a large back catalogue that something has to be missed. The DVD is more like what one would expect from him, and instrumentals only.The jam at the end is a treat. Yngwie does his best on vocals for Voodoo Chile, and covers every splinter of his guitar.He could probably do with calming down a bit, but that's half the experience, and live it was probably phenomenal. Little Wing is a nice change from the heavy stuff, although I think the version on the DVD is better.Rockin' In the Free World is perhaps the best number, although again Yngwie perhaps should have backed off a bit.Overall, a good CD, if you like your guitars fast and furious.
J.J. CALE - THE SILVER TONE YEARS (2011)
J.J. Cale recorded for the British independent label Silvertone Records from 1989 to 1992, recording the albums Travel Log and Number 10. The albums represented a resurgence of Cale in the music world after a seven year hiatus and reestablished him among his many fans. All fourteen tracks from Travel Log are included while 11-of-12 from Number 10 appear (missing only Digital Love). Whether the music is bluesy, jazzy, country, rock (or country rock), folk, or tinged with Spanish or even Flamenco guitar flavors, once you hear that guitar or the voice, you immediately know it's JJ Cale - an incredibly humble man whose very nature has inspired a deep emotional connection with die-hard fans worldwide. Enjoy the collection. At this time, JJ does not have any tour plans.

CACTUS - DISCOGRAPHY
Cactus was initially conceived as early as late 1969 by the Vanilla Fudge rhythm section of bassist Tim Bogert and drummer Carmine Appice with guitarist Jeff Beck and singer Rod Stewart (also from the already dissolved Jeff Beck Group). However, Beck had an automobile accident and was out of the music scene for over a year and Stewart joined Ronnie Wood in Faces. Early 1970 Appice and Bogert brought in blues guitarist Jim McCarty from Mitch Ryder's Detroit Wheels and The Buddy Miles Express, and singer Rusty Day (born Russell Edward Davidson) from Amboy Dukes. This line-up managed three albums (Cactus, One Way...Or Another and Restrictions) before intraband troubles led to McCarty quitting at the end of 1971. Shortly afterwards Day was fired from the group. The fourth and last Cactus album ('Ot 'N' Sweaty) featured original rhythm section Bogert and Appice joined by Werner Fritzschings on guitar, Duane Hitchings on keyboards and Peter French (ex-Leaf Hound and Atomic Rooster) on vocals.
