uitarist, singer, songwriter Paul White has released his 2nd solo album.Eleven tunes, all with the solid backbeat of Paul’s acoustic guitar, these songs generate a rich harmonic groove with the Blues being a strong but not necessarily dominant influence.
There are three instrumentals, two beautifully crafted tunes for two guitars in "Little Wonder" and "Cryptic Theme" and a deliberate step back in time to "Deja Vu".
The general mood of the album is typified by "Go Easy", a lazy cruise number, it’s sweetness touched with enough angst to keep the listener interested.
"Womanhood" is a flirtation with a Latin groove, while light hearted Blues comes into being with "Come Morning", "You Tonight", and "Still Like Summertime Blues", then "Cloudstreet" will come along and knock you over with it’s simply eerie harmonic power.
