Scott Henderson : Well to the Bone
© 2002 Blues Bureau
Well to the Bone is Scott Henderson's third solo outing and perhaps his best to date. Unlike the first two releases, "Dog Party" and "Tore Down House" which were heavily blues influenced, "Well to the Bone" is somewhat of an enigma and hard to categorize into any one genre. Nevertheless, the songs and guitar compositions are probably the best Henderson has ever penned.
The songs range form dark and biting, almost Hendrix like ("Devil Boy") to the light and humorous ("Lola Ray" you can't take your cousin to bed...gene pool damage...six fingers and six toes.) The guitar playing is nothing short of brilliant sounding at times like Vai and Satriani and other times like Hendrix with a hint of Stevie Ray. This is a must have for electric guitarists particularly those that like experimentation.

More fusion that blues on this one and such a unique voice on the electric guitar.
Scott Henderson : Tore Down House
Electric Blues
Henderson strengthens his case for why he is an extremely versatile guitarist. His exceptional playing is supported by drums, bass, harmonica, keyboards, sax, flute, trumpet and trombone as well as the vocals of the great Thelma Houston and the somewhat lesser known, Masta Edwards.
Scott Henderson : Dog Party
Electric Blues
Scott Henderson's playng on this cd represents a blend of blues and fusion that works seamlessly with the composition. Henderson steps outside of the framework of your basic I-IV-V blues progression and displays a harmonic vocabulary that you would have to search far and wide to equal.
