Those who love to savor exquisite guitar lace will be familiar with the names of Gordon Giltrap and Paul Brett, two legends of British rock well-known for their electric flurries yet famous for acoustic sound – the former delivering it on 6-string and the latter on 12-string instruments. Longtime friends, both veterans are also endorsees of the Vintage® brand for which they designed series of signature guitars. One of them, titled “The Raven” after Edgar Allan Poe’s poem, Paul and Gordon demonstrate on “Raven Reflections”: their joint album where these artists recorded anew a few of their pieces, including selections from Giltrap’s "The Last Of England" and Brett’s "The Raven" and a couple of fresh numbers.
Subtitled “A Vintage Guitar Presentation” and distributed on CD strictly among the Vintage® dealers, the album is still to be released for the masses as a digital download by Cherry Red. An alluring prospect – read the review.
