When he's not shredding just for the sake of it, Michael can produce some really lovely music. Like Prog Revisited.

Who said shredders don't have a sense of humour? Hillbilly Militia proves it.

These guys have reformed after 34 years or so for a series of concerts in London. Here's three of their classics: Strange Brew, White Room and Tales of Brave Ulysses.

Ahh, that First Rush.

This is a nice track off an EP sent to me by local guitarist Ashley. Hope you like Blue Sky.

Albert's one of my favourites blues guitarists. Here's a live version of The Sky is Crying.

I'll be playing three versions of The Sky is Crying tonight.

I'm in the mood for some Steve Morse, how about you? Here's a couple you might not know: Derailleur Gears and Mechanical Frenzy.

Now I have a working copy of this CD, expect more from it over the next few weeks. Let's start you off with the title track, Dreamscapes.

An old favourite, Incident at Neshabur.

How about a set of three tracks by this amazing player? Satch Boogie, If and Gnaah.

Joe has it all, chops, charm and ... what was the other thing? Seriously, he's great. Hope you like Weapon of Choice.

Stevie recorded The Sky is Crying too.

Still one of my favourite recent releases. Enjoy Forgot to Make Her Mine.
