2 CDs to check out

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Solos, Sessions, and Encores
It's SRV. Man do I miss this guy. My housemate in College saw his last show...why did I not go? I still remember him coming back after the show and telling us what happened. We started every one of our parties in college with the "HOUSE is A ROCKIN'". Just brilliant. So this CD is live cuts, TV performances and studio tracks, all showcasing Stevie Ray's guitar. It's uneven but what makes it a keeper are the previously unreleased live tracks and the fact it's SRV.




Citay - Little Kingdom
This is a guitar CD in all its forms but mostly in the Pink Floyd kinda way. serene, euphoric, pastoral and amazingly hippie. Here you will find bubbly plucking, noodly solos and positive vibes. You want guitar effects - you got'em maybe even too many plus violins, flutes, and synthesizers. You wouldn't always find lyrics but the vocals are of the breathey variety.
