GREG LOWE
Guitar and Bass Sessions (Independent)
GUITARIST Lowe turns his jazzy touch to a disparate bunch of tunes from the pens of Roger Miller (King of the Road) to Carole King (I Feel the Earth Move) to George Harrison (Something) and four of his own compositions.
He performs seven tunes with bassist Steve Kirby; the other six with Gilles Fournier and the guitarist is at his deft-fingered best, especially on Willie Nelson's Crazy, where he pulls the Lenny Breau feat of making a country classic sound oh, so un-country.
Lowe sounds great with just the bass accompaniment; it's a rare chance to hear the intricacies of his playing. ****
