Brian Tarquin
& Heavy Friends – Guitars for Wounded Warriors
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.
