Album of the Day

Flying in a Blue Dream, by Joe Satriani (1997): There are several really talented guitarists out there who, when they open their mouths and sing, make you think, "at least he's a really talented guitar player." The mostly instrumental Satriani opened his mount in several places on Flying . . ., to bad effect. His voice isn't horribly bad, but it's not that good, either (and the lyrical quality doesn't help). The instrumental stuff is much better.
