Guitar Man 1 - Download Album by Dan Peek

I learned guitar when I was 12 years old, at 15 I hit the road, I packed my bags and never once looked back... (opening line of the title track)

Guitar Man 1 is a self revelatory musical musing with alternately hard-edged looks at reality and a softer, jazzier side of life. The biting tang, sting and twang of multiple guitar voices enhances the solid song foundations.

1) Guitar Man [DanPeek/Blazy/Dowell] 3:49
The roar of the crowd... and the ZZ-Top-like ode to the guitar players who rock us, the focus narrows to the acoustic plane.

2) Carry On, Only Love Can Save You [Dan Peek] 3:47
Takes you on a trip through the Himalayas and the endless quest for knowledge in the east, reminiscent of Dan's time living in the Hindu Kush.

3) The Hill [Dan Peek] 3:46
Smooth jazz, Dan's big-bodied Gretsch Chet Atkins, purring and stretching like a great cat, the guitar riffs stitching the laid back Samba feel of the rhythm section to the breathy lyric. If Larry Carlton sang, he might have made this record. There is a "throaty" feel of multiple pick-ups set in reverse, treble to bass, bass to treble, which lifts the listener up. "The Hill", is a standout smooth jazz cut, the 3-part vocal lending an angelic quality to the track.

4) Jessica [Ken Marvin/Dan Peek] 2:46
Pure English rock in the best of senses, the 6345789 type chorus delivered with gusto, while being pursued by the howling guitar.

5) Sharkey's Song [Dan Peek] 3:04
Shows a much more delicate side, a "Rubber Soul" sound to a classic ballad.

6) Still Luv You [DanPeek/Blazy/Dowell] 3:06
Teaming brilliantly on the writing again with Kent Blazy, Peek's guitar work showcases this easy-going early Beatle-esque skiffle tune. Pay special attention to the classic Dan Peek harmonica work on this ultimate "feel-good" song!

7) Makin' Trax [Dan Peek] 4:25
A trip to the dark side on this eerie black parody of the "need" song.

8) Into The Night [Dan Peek] 4:16
Contrary to rumor, that is not Carlo Santana playing on this one. Like a jar of habanero sauce, this tasty treat stays with you, all night.

9) Deadmen [Dan Peek] 3:12
Surfers wax your boards up and go for the pipeline. A dangerous lyric and an out of control axe make a swirling cyclone of a song with an edgy message.

10) Borrowed Time [Dan Peek] 4:47
Give me mercy, not justice. "Rust Never Sleeps", hat's off to Neil.
