Big Guitar Artist: Omar and the Howlers - I'm Gone- New Recording Release

Omar and the Howlers have a new recording, I'm Gone and it's a hot one. The recording opens with the title track, I'm Gone, a blistering rockabilly song with hot guitar riffs that will part your hair. All About The Money is a slinky shuffle blues providing a cool avenue for some Texas style licks. Down To The Station, an Elmore James style blues keeps things loping along and providing Dykes a great avenue to demonstrate yet another of his versatile playing styles. Lone Star Blues, one of my favorites on the recording is along the lines of a T-Bone Walker composition and shows beautiful guitar articulation and some lower fretboard playing which is particularly effective. Omar's Boogie gets things up and hopping and like other guitar boogie's before it, it an absolutely great showcase for a guitar player. Goin' Back To Texas is a cool slow shuffle track and and is another nice change up allowing the band to play some tasty solo's. There are some double stop notes that are just a half fret apart for effect. Let me Hold You gets into a r&b ballad groove allowing yet for another playing style by Dykes. I'm Mad Again has a more primitive approach to the blues like early Mud. It's a particularly effective song. The cd has 12 original tracks and is thoroughly enjoyable end to end.
