A new album released this month. I've never heard of this group before, I really like it, great instrumentals. It made for some great background music to listen to while working today.

From one of the best western movies ever made.

W.A.S.P. has been around for quite a while but they put out a great over of Deep Purple's Burn a few years back. Blackie really belts it out of the park!

Well... I've circled around to Queensryche, returning once more to a masterpiece of musicianship and lyrics with Silent Lucidity from 1990's Empire album. This one still gives me chills and pulls at my emotions over 30 years later. This IS art.

Since we recently played our first Call of Cthulhu session on Roll20, I went and found Metallica's Call of Ktulu instrumental from the Ride the Lightning album of 1984.

And for a change of pace... a cool as hell tune from Stevie Wonder. 8-)

Ran across a new recommendation on YT, band is called The Pilgrim, album Walking into the Forest. Love the cover art, and the guitar solos on some of the tracks are awesome.

The guitar work for track 1, Peace of Mind, has a bit of a Stairway to Heaven vibe going on.
