"Intricate. Technical. Amazing. Three
words best used to describe Peter Neri's first solo album...New England
is home to a number of exquisite guitarists, but Neri isn't just folk.
The Vermont resident has crafted a diverse and solid blend of instrumentals
that impress and express.
The album begins with an upbeat and tremendous piece called
"Out from the Shadows", and that he does. When Neri dropped the
electric and studied the acoustic and classical, he really honed his skills.
With this cut, he has held onto his rock upbringing without forsaking the
pure sound of an acoustic.
What he's done with his guitar is truly amazing. Neri
has command of the percussive need, and the subtleties of string playing.
There are times when the sound of the fingers sliding up or down the strings
become an important element to a tune; or hitting the pick shield with
a palm adds the right percussion, and allowing the strings to play free
can be just as emotive. And Neri has control of it all.
With the blend of blues picking like "Still Alive"
and folk ballads "Lone Warrior" and "Night Visions," the
album becomes an overall gem."
