Joe Satriani Artist Snapshot:

Joe Satriani is one of the foremost "guitar shredders," a guitarist whose lightning speed virtuosity is matched by his vast theoretical knowledge and musical imagination. The New York six-string demon kicked around as a sideman for a long time before kicking off his solo career in the '80s. Since then he's garnered countless Grammy Nominations for Best Rock Instrumental, worked with shred supergroup G3 (including peers Steve Vai and Eric Johnson), and inspired legions of fiery guitarists.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (10/13/95, p.78) - "...this is Satriani's gutsiest and most plainspoken effort yet, echoing Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix, but with his own inimitable urgency. His roots are showing, in the best way."
- Rating: A-
Q (12/95, p.155) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...this is an artifact brimming with unexpected delights...Satriani seems to be paying homage to an earlier era where melody took precedence over technique..."
Musician (1/96, p.87) - "...a straight-ahead instrumental rock album....There's a real bite to much of this music, and Satriani's got a leaner tone to match. The glossy, airbrushed leads...are largely gone; in the few spots where they do appear...they take on a new air of menace..."

All songs written by Joe Satriani.

"(You're) My World" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance.

Joe Satriani's self-titled, seventh adventure bursts with a new level of maturity and musicianship. The first thing that hits you is a fat, warm guitar tone wallowing in an enormous groove, but the overall sound is different from the Satch we're used to. JOE SATRIANI is much more direct, more raw and more effective. It is as though he has been stripped of any superfluous trimmings and wayward effects so that the beautiful guitar within his soul can shine clearly.

This lucidity reveals a gifted and consistent songwriter, sublimely talented guitarist, versatile improviser and a kickin' band--strengths that allow Satriani to express himself ever so eloguently, evoking emotions on a universal level. The opener, "Cool #9," is a funky, polyrhythmic scorcher on which Satriani grows a stratospheric guitar solo out of a few well-placed succinct phrases. That's just the first of the burning rock to be found on JOE SATRIANI, most of it propelled by the tremendous drumming of Manu Katche.

Satriani also pours much of his ferocious red energy into the blues. There are four genuine blues offerings here, showcasing Joe on slide guitar, Joe on harp, Joe on dobro and Joe on vocals. Occasionally adding the touch of rhythm guitar master Andy Fairweather Low, Satriani plays the blues with spine-warming emotion, milking buckets of feeling out of his strings to feed sweet melodies.
