![](images/spacer_FFFFFF.jpg) & Heavy Friends – Guitars for Wounded Warriors
![](images/spacer_FFFFFF.jpg) Review by Gary Hill
This album is designed to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project. It was organized by Brian Tarquin and he composed the pieces. He enlisted a wide array of talented musicians to put it together. This is a guitar heavy instrumental album that has elements of metal and elements of fusion. Overall, I’d put it under progressive rock, but I could see people arguing with that. What I can’t see argument over is the quality. This thing is impressive and powerful. And, it benefits a good cause. You can’t beat that.
