Leigh Williams - Williams, Leigh : Absolute Zero

Leigh Williams is a technically brilliant guitarist. His debut solo CD, Absolute Zero, is an instrumental tour de force. If you love fast and flashy guitar playing, then you'll definitely love this album. Every track puts Williams' playing front and center for your listening pleasure. You can't help but sit spellbound as he flies all over the fretboard. Williams' back-up band is nothing less than stellar. This isn't surprising since they're all from Steve Vai's band: Virgil Donati plays drums while Mike Keneally handles the various keyboards and Phillip Bynoe lays down the wonderful bass parts. Produced by Neil Citron. Rock Empire. 2005.
