Tom Principato - Not One Word (2000)

"Not One Word" from Washington DC's Tom Principato is an all instrumental disc, 9 of the 10 songs having been composed by Tom. The lone cover is a version of War's "Slippin' Into Darkness." This CD is the usual ecclectic mix, covering what is even for Principato, a wide and varied range of styles. The set ranges from the Eastern-influenced, to Latin-rock, Hendrix influenced rock tunes, neo-classical pieces, funk, and jazz balladry.There are also the patented Principato atmospheric ballads, too. Guests include Gali Sanchez (percussion), Robbie Magruder (Mary Chapin Carpenter/Roy Buchanan), Wade Matthews (Nils Lofgren), Peter Bonta (Mary Chapin Carpenter) along with Tom's current Band members. A must for fans of guitar and all styles of music!
