CD Reviews

A new looks at blues.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"With Shades of Blue, Al Petteway once again proves why he is one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists and composers. This is not a standard blues CD, although there is plenty of blues and ragtime on it, if that is what you are looking for. Instead, this is a series of compositions in, as the CD's title points out, shades of blue, variations on blues themes.Al's style is pleasing and clear. His compositions range from enjoyable to moving. He plays with as much heart as he does skill, and his skill is considerable. I have listened to this CD over and over since getting it, and I am still not tired of it.I particularly enjoy "After Dark", "Smoky Mountain Morning", "Alphonso Brown is Back in Town" (read the liner notes on this one), and the truly moving "Requiem".The only thing missing from this CD is Amy White, who makes this already great musician even better, more soulful. She is the other half of the orange. That said, this is a great CD and will not disappoint."

A GREAT guitarist records a GREAT record!!!

"I have been a fan of AL Petteway's guitar playing for quite some time but this is by far my favorite of his releases....it is all solo acoustic guitar and very very bluesy. I have played this CD many times and hear new favorites each time. Instrumental music like this never ages and is worth the money. His duo CD "Gratitude" is also very very nice."

Al does it again!!!!!

This CD is a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves Celtic, Blues, Alternative and Jazz. It isn't overdubbed or reverbed, just clean music that makes you feel like you're there while he's creating. It's guaranteed to turn you into a devoted fan. You'll listen in total awe!!!!"
