Album Review

Jan Akkerman was lured back to the rock guitar wars by I.R.S.'s Miles Copeland, who organized the Night of the Guitar tour in 1989 and co-produced this new instrumental rock set for release the following year. Akkerman remains an impressive player, and this album is recommended to aficionados of rock guitar. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

Jan Akkerman was the guitarist for the group Focus. Yeah, it was the group with the lyrics "yodido yodido yodido doe" in a yodeling vain followed by a blazing guitar. This album has superb guitar work with some laid back and blazing riffs being played. As Music Guide stated, it an album guitar lovers should have.
