Sandy Bull: the best guitarist/string player you never heard
D. Chaffin | 07/20/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"I was in college in the SF bay area in 1966 or 1967 when I first heard Sandy Bull on the radio...(KSAN, maybe?) when the DJ played "Blend", the longest song I had ever heard on the radio to that time. I was mesmerized, stupefied even...I was a guitar player myself, and he quickly entered my Pantheon of guitar gods. My only disappointment about Sandy Bull was that I never had the opportunity to see him live, and in fact, by the time he made the recording at the Matrix, he was probably compromised by a long-time drug addiction, and parts of this recording seem to evidence that. Notwithstanding, his skill was prodigious and he influenced many other players. The re-issue called "Re-Inventions" has a great deal worth listening to, and would make a great companion to this live recording."
