NEW: Pete Kennedy's
"Guitarslinger" CD available now!
 Pete Kennedy's new
release, "Guitarslinger" is his first solo project
since 1992, a gap of sixteen years. Taking a different direction from
the jangly 12-string lush harmonies of the Kennedys' acclaimed string
of CDs, the new album is a stripped down, mostly acoustic project that
focuses on his incendiary solo guitar work. Longtime DC fans will
recognize "19 in Vietnam", recast here on a haunting electric sitar,
and "Eldorado", a favorite from Pete's band Bound For Glory. The rest
of the tunes grew out of his solo tour of the south, earlier this year,
with a few tributes tossed in: Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me", Nat
King Cole's "Nature Boy", and Pete's arrangement of Gershwin's
"Rhapsody in Blue". Maura joins in on a raucous version of
"Not Fade
Away", previously only available to fan club members. There are also
two jaw-dropping nods to the great Les Paul, with Pete recreating Les'
patented tape speed manipulations, but in real time! In many
ways, the
album is an homage to the heyday of the roots music scene in DC, when
guitar giants like Roy Buchanon and Danny Gatton were stalking the
local clubs. Guitarslinger? Sure. That's the tradition Pete grew up in,
and with this long-awaited solo CD, he shows 'em how it's done.
