Press Reviews If you are starved for '70s era influenced hard rock blues a'la Allman Brothers or Stevie Ray Vaughn you would do well to check out guitarist/vocalist Alastair Greene's debut CD A Little Wiser. Greene displays a monstrous ability for full-on blues rock anthems. While some blues purists will no doubt chafe at his distorted Gibson bombast, those who prefer their blues amped up should be deafeningly pleased. Simply, he goes for it. Greene has a strong, baritone voice that often distorts his mic as the song reaches an apex. There is a live feel to the album with few pauses between tracks, almost as if Greene and friends ran the set down in one take. Complimenting Greene's heavily distorted and wah wah'd aesthetic is the Hammond B-3 organ of Jim Calire who's juicy keyboard smears keep things funky. Also an adept acoustic musician, Greene displays a romantic side on tracks like the bluegrass infused "The Long Way Home" which showcases his steel-string guitar, banjo and mandolin prowess. — Matt Collar All Music Guide
