Detour.2013

Get It!, the all instrumental album from Tinsley Ellis that his fans have been requesting for decades. Produced by Ellis, the CD marks the initial offering from his newly established label, Heartfixer Music. A hardworking veteran of numerous U.S. and international tours, Ellis' CD's have scanned well into six figures via releases from Alligator, Capricorn, Telarc and Landslide Records. He boasts countless great reviews, among them a rave from Rolling Stone which said: "Feral blues guitar…his eloquence dazzles…he achieves pyrotechnics that rival early Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton." A notable songwriter, Ellis' compositions include "A Quitter Never Wins," a version of which by Jonny Lang went multi-platinum. Get It! features eight original tunes by Ellis, plus distinctive covers of Bo Diddley's "Detour" and Freddie King's "Freddi's Midnight Dream."

Primal Scream always refracted the past through the prism of the present, turning hero worship into something resembling high art. It wasn't always this way, not at the start, when they were part of the delicate, brittle C86 scene, nor was it true when they exploded in a brilliant blast of acid house on Screamadelica. The art came later, after they halted their ascendency via the Stones-aping Give Out But Don't Give Up, a move that in retrospect seems to be an important final foundation within the construction of Primal Scream but at the time seemed odd, halting, flying in the face of Cool Britannia.

Five albums from Joe Satriani – picked seemingly at random but not unappealingly – are collected on this budget-priced 2013 box set. The albums here – Surfing with the Alien, Engines of Creation, Strange Beautiful Music, Is There Love in Space?, Super Colossal – arguably showcase Satriani at his best, even if they don't focus on any particular time…

Country / Bluegrass / Country Rock / Guitar Virtuoso

Jerry Miller opens up his 2013 album with "Travis Express," a signal that the guitarist owes a significant debt to the great Merle Travis. Then again, most purely instrumental country guitarists do owe Travis a great deal, and Miller doesn't shy away from his love of classic '50s and '60s pickers, using New Road Under My Wheels as a celebration of that whole era, leaning heavily on honky tonk and Western swing to deliver a jumping good time. Perhaps Miller is superficially similar to Junior Brown, another virtuoso country guitarist who also adores roadhouse country, but Brown is a nitro-charged engine throttling down the highway.

This budget-priced, five-piece box set from country great Willie Nelson includes the albums The Troublemaker (1976), To Lefty from Willie (1977), Stardust (1978), Sings Kris Kristofferson (1979), and Tougher Than Leather (1983) in their entireties.
