    Review Ben Ohmart at www.atnzone.com
    "It's an album a bit like Jeff Beck, influenced by lots of blues and jazz, and a restrained form of wild guitar that only gets better the more absorbed you become in the style."

    Review by Frank Cotolo         
    'Around About Midnight'/'Opportunity'
    Every once in a while you hear some player, some songwriter, some singer and you can't get it the first time around. But something makes you listen again and the second time you realize there was too much going on the first time to ingest it all. Listen to Andrew Riggs once and you might not like him. Listen twice and you realize this guy is for real and you have to like him, his material and how he addresses it all. Here is an accomplished guitar player who has decided to toss away the sheet music and let himself loose in a raw and rusty musical theater. At first the voice makes you uneasy. Then it starts to make sense and that is very much the way originality hits anyone. First a turn of the head and a 'What?' then acceptance and enjoyment. 'Around About Midnight' is a live-sounding song that seems to be being written on the spot, too. That's jazz-improv talent. 'Opportunity,' however, is a well-crafted piece of jazz in motion, experimental, active and proof that Riggs is an A-1 guitar player with no boundaries. And hey, he is singing some very good lyrics. Imagery abounds clearly and crisply and holy shit can this guy play! He is a player's dream and a player's nightmare all in one. Grab a beer or a scotch, make the room candle-lighted, put your feet up, drink, smoke, whatever and just listen. If it doesn't take you somewhere, you are nowhere, man.
