In a world filled with very talented musicians there are a rare few that stand apart from the rest.
For an artist to truly tell their story, technical prowess is not enough. The real story is in the soul
and conviction with which one tells it with. There are few who can deliver this complete
package. Combining guitar virtuosity and seamless melodies with roots that run deep into the
blues is not an easy task. Although one would think so after hearing Magic Red's latest release
"The Unspoken Truth".

His fifth CD, and third all instrumental effort is without question the most mature offering to date.
As Red digs into the instrumental genre more and more his voice becomes harder to deny. The
melodies are memorable and the grooves infectious. Red's playing has always combined the
grit of Stevie Ray Vaughan and the virtuosity of Joe Satriani into one unique guitar cocktail.
Floating effortlessly through his latest set of guitar visions he takes the listener where few
can......into the soul of a true artist. Moving from rockers to delicate ballads Red shows all
emotions through his guitar. There is a sense of urgency at times, and a feeling of total content
and patience at others. There are the singing melodies reminiscent of the instrumental
masters, but the scars of a guitarist whose spent countless nights on the road, and in smoky
roadhouses. This is a player who can burn with the best, but still sizzle and groove. It's the kind
of playing that can only come after years of gigging, recording and shaping one's craft to a
razor's edge. .

Constantly exploring new territory, while not forgetting where he came from, Red takes another
step forward. With each release we hear another side to his playing that wasn't there
previously. Stretching and pushing the limits of his abilities further on each CD, he keeps
raising the bar for both him and the listener. Every few years one comes along that is special.
Magic Red is that one. "The Unspoken Truth" is the latest chapter in the ongoing saga that is his
book.
