Press Reviews Andrew Riggs - Axiology When I first saw the cd cover - tons of guitars - I was a little fearful, thinking that I'd be getting a big taste of hard rock or metal. Not my favorites. But then I plugged in - the best thing to do with a cd. No, nothing really hard here, just a lot of catchy, rock-inspired do it yourself tunes. Andrew's voice is certainly indie in origin, which is why I like it SO much. An individual. Plus, he knows how to play. In fact, he knows how to do everything - because he's done it all. With the aid of a Tascam 38 8-track, Andrew has done it all himself, and the event is one to applaud. His cover sheet tells that he put more than a thousand hours of effort into this project, and you can hear the love among the guitar oriented rock. 'Rising Tide' is just one of many songs thatstick in your head. Maybe I pick on this one because it's over 4 minutes, so there's more of a good thing. Then again, the lyrics paint a fun story of 'blind ambition ruled by pride, he keeps a pistol by his side / in this land under the gun, there's many people on the run / leftist guerrillas and car bombs / there is no right out of two wrongs / in the night you live in fear, and one day you'll disappear.' The rest of the album isn't so political, don't worry. 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. I'm listening to the instrumental 'Coulda Shoulda Woulda' and I am severely reminded of some of the instrumental, guitar, progressive albums I used to have. So, please! Download an mp3 or 2 for yourself, and decide to order the album made straight from sweat and hot picks. Ben Ohmart ,reviewed atwww.atnzone.com
