Victor Gann - First Solo CD
VICTOR GANN - Victor Gann                                        
Dallas, TX

       Guitar virtuosity seems to be Texas' claim to fame.  Dimebag, Stevie Ray, and Rusty Cooley are prime arguments supporting this statement.  Now you can add Victor Gann to this list.  Victor's sound borrows from the earlier styling of Satriani and Vai, but with a guitar voice all his own.  The influences are certainly noticeable, however Victor merely uses them as an element to fuse with everything else he brings to the table.  His technical skill harkens to a time when it was cool to know your instrument, days that are sorely missed.  The melodies and songwriting are outstanding and its no wonder Victor was recently noted as a guitarist "making waves in the musical world."  I was disappointed with the scarcity of the songs, only five, however Victor is said to be working on a new album as we speak.  Until then, if you haven't picked up this 2006 release, go now and order it from his website…you can afford seven bucks!
