CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Dave Hole, an Australian artist, is well known for his guitar mastery. Since his recording debut fifteen years ago, Dave's records and live performances have drawn raves from countless international publications, and garnered legions of fans. "Nothing interferes with Hole's searing guitar when he is in full flight," said Rolling Stone magazine, while Guitar World added, "Hole produces solo upon blistering solo that is exhilaratingly relentless." His newest recording, "Rough Diamond," amply reaffirms his title as the reigning master of the slide guitar. His fret-melting guitar riffs are infused with the same spirit as those of such blues and rock slide legends as Duane Allman, Johnny Winter, and Elmore James. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsStill Wonderful L. E Johnson | Raleigh, NC United States | 06/07/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "Even though some of the originals here are not quite as "original" as those on most of his other albums, Dave Hole's playing is still wild and wonderful and is as good as or better than any out there. The best tunes are "White Trash Girl" and "I'm a King Bee," both of which have blistering, beautiful solos. Wonder how much Blind Pig had to pay to lure him away from Alligator? Whatever it was, it was worth it. Even at 4 stars it's an album you should grab." RICK SHAQ GOLDSTEIN SAYS: "IT'S A "SLIDE" OF HAND!" Rick Shaq Goldstein | Danville, Ca, USA | 05/22/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you're one of "Shaq's, The King Of The World Blues Reviewer's" loyal fans, and you're looking for a complete electric blues CD, this is not for you. But, with that being said, if you're looking for a slide guitar CD, that provides an eclectic, combination, of every slide guitar sound known to man, (And possibly some that haven't been heard yet!) this is, the CD for you! Dave has covered the gamut of music, from blues, to rock, to a ballad that might be played by a cowpoke sitting around a campfire. The greatest song on this CD is #5 "White Trash Girl". This is a rocking, slide (of course!) number, that would put George Thorogood to shame! This song kicks butt! It's been too long a wait for Dave Hole fans. It's been too many years between releases. You get good playing time for your money, as only 2 songs out of 11 are under 4 minutes long. 4 songs are in the 5-6 minute range. Dave's virtuosity on the slide guitar, is akin to a mad "genius" in the laboratory. Some of his riffs are not explainable, just enjoyable. I find myself unabashedly, with a large grin on my face, as his unique sounds emanate from the speakers.
