Brian Tarquin: Soft Touch
ByThere is nothing overheated, nothing overdone, not a hair out of place in the music of Brian Tarquin. He is a capable guitarist but he never lets shallow virtuoso displays get in the way of the groove. He solos, yes, but then he gets out of the way and it's time to boogie. The sax solos are just as spare and tasteful. Even the vocalist, Guy Fortt, who appears on two tracks, is as cool and soulful as he can be.
So if you're looking for music that doesn't tie you up and beat you down, music that doesn't grab your brain and take your attention away from the lady in the yellow dress, music that helps you get the soft touch and dance the night away, grab this one and don't let go.
