Legendary Australian guitarist Brett Garsed serves up a big helping of solo delights on "Big Sky," his latest musical offering. On a large canvas fitting for a grand Monet, Garsed once again paints a musical landscape using large and brilliant brushstrokes highlighted by subtle colors and fine detail.

Fittingly titled "Big Sky," the new album satisfies as it delivers extraordinary playing from the trio of Garsed, Ric Fierabracci (bass) and Toss Panos (drums). The trio's versatility is aptly demonstrated across the CD's ten tracks of melody-infused instrumental rock music. Rich textures are combined with bursts of sound and other-worldly playing, lending credence to the album's title.

Over an hour's worth of enjoyment is provided; every track provides a new element or dimension to the music. Garsed has a real talent and this album reveals the 'substance' in his playing. His style and technique are varied, but unmistakably Brett.

He lets it rip on "Fu'd Fight" and "The Myth" while "Got The Horn" features some truly inspired playing by all three (check out the bass!). A few subtle moments are also included, rounding out a creative and remarkable recording. This album is not one to be passed over.

Bonus CD!

A Fret Tunes exclusive, this extended edition of Big Sky includes six live tracks taken from Brett's Instructional DVD.
