Listening to the debut outing, 'Divine Soul Ride', by guitarist George Foster is like experiencing a time when you could hear the likes of Eric Clapton, Robin Trower, ZZ Top, Sly & The Family Stone, Jimi Hendrix and Chicago on the radio. There is a full range of Blues based soul movers on this recording that could cater to many different audiences. Along with the smoking hot six string fretboard work of George Foster, you have, the soulful vocals of Jarrett Williams and the rock solid rhythm section of, bassist John Hart and drummer Gary Ferguson. Together this group has put together something truly special. George Foster has a lot of talent and is musically unafraid to take on any style and willing to be a completely relevant artist today without having to compromise his craft like so many others. I like that most of all. You can feel that diversity in his playing on tracks like, "Dancing With The Devil", "My Cheatin' Ways", the slow bluesy swagger of ,"Evangeline", the adrenaline pumping grooves of , "Secrets" and "Hard Times". But the track that won me over hook line and sinker is the closing "The Fields Of Aberdare", clocking in at a bit over seven minutes, George Foster's guitar work left me comfortably numb. Real blues rock guitar played from the heart and soul, what a joyful - Tony Sison
