Joe Satriani - Joe Satriani Review by Larry Toering
This is the album Joe Satriani owed the record company while he was with Deep Purple, and one of the reasons given for not continuing with them. No matter how you call it, he definitely upped his game after being on the road with that group, and this album is the result of a much more confident player. At the time it was only acknowledged by those who witnessed those changes, but looking back it can all be sorted out by anyone interested enough in his career. This is a great album with Glyn Johns producing and helping him nail a more classic rock vibe, along with the smoother, more jazzy numbers to be found here. It's an excellent album that deserves more credit to him, but with this kind of music, things can tend to mush for the average listener, and this is one of his first attempts to grab the attention of such listeners.
