These days, it's considered "uncool" to be able to play and tune your instrument. . . . . in case you missed James' debut "METHOD II MADNESS", a couple of years ago, MWI Records is proud to introduce the most "uncool" guitarist in the Midwest.
The CD also introduces Hector Acuna (formerly of "SPIKE") on Bass, Doug Bertram (of "UNBOUND") on Lead vocals and John Harper (formerly of "ALLEGIANCE") on keys. James Gilmore contributes all guitars, arrangements and backup vocals.
James describes the new material in this way: "All I can say is if you got off on the first album, you'll love this! I've spent two years recording this one, and I think it shows. It's really raw sounding and definitely kicks ass! The biggest difference on "RETURN II MADNESS" is that it features one song that I did the arrangement for, but I did not write." "Movements Thru Time is a tribute to David Chastain and Michael Harris who have had a profound influence on my writing and playing. Other influences that I feel are apparent on these tracks range from Ace Freyley and Michael Angelo, to Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai, just to name a few. Practically every great guitarist I've ever heard has had some kind on influence on my playing and I feel this CD reflects that." |
