Keith Douglass - Remnants Of Euphoria
Keith Douglas comes a long way from Memphis to the world with his first solo album in tow, and it's a remarkably cool release from top to bottom, with the blues rock guitarist shining throughout every moment. It's been a long time since I first saw Tora Tora at shows out west back on their first couple of tours, but they've been back since they released (Bastards Of Beale) some years ago, with tour ventures out on the Monsters Of Rock Cruise, and other appearance mostly in the south. The album is ambient guitar rock fest, full of groovy hard rock instrumentals, with a guest vocal appearance on one track, by Sophie West. It comes as a limited edition with no plans for a second round of pressing, so it's worth grabbing before it's gone, rendering it a true collector's item for the fans.
