"After spending the better part of a decade helping define jazz-rock, Larry Coryell put away his electric guitar and teamed up with like-minded guitarist Phillip Catherine. Together, they released this stunning debut now available on CD from Wounded Bird that still resonates today thirty years later.
Recorded in London in 1977, Coryell and Catherine display their technical prowess over the course of mostly original material. Highlights include Catherine's bluesy title track. "Gloryell," a track written especially for Coryell by Jimmy Webb, is a reflective, delicately played tune. "Nuages" is the pair's loving tribute to Django Reinhardt. The album closes with another Catherine original, the hauntingly beautiful "Twice a Week."
If you enjoy great guitar playing, you'll love TWIN-HOUSE. [Running Time - 40:30] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"
