Lance Lopez
Live in NYC
Review by Gary Hill
The easiest comparison here is to Stevie Ray Vaughn. Lance Lopez’ music definitely occupies a similar territory most of the time. That said, he has a tendency to get further in the crunch zone toward heavy metal. Also, whereas Vaughn’s guitar soloing tended toward passionate, but a bit restrained, Lopez is more incendiary. This live album really captures just how incredible this guy is. If you like electric blues with a lot of rock music, or blues based hard rock with a lot of scorching guitar, give this a try. You won’t be disappointed.
