Note To Self is Paul Rose''s ninth album, and boy, is it a piece of work!! Straight from the heart of a highly talented and experienced artist, this CD contains some of the most original and beautifully crafted compositions I have heard from a modern day guitarist in a long long time. And the guitar playing left me feeling speechless. The album starts with a romper stomper guitar blues entitled "The Largactyl Shuffle" A real toe tapper and some exquisitely played blues guitar just roll from the fingers of the seasoned maestro. But do not be mistaken, this is not a blues album, no sir. Straight off the bat comes "Modern World" which is an absolutely rocking song, with a great chorus and hook with a firework display of a guitar solo. Followed by the truly awesome "Ninth Life" incorporating Beethoven''s "Ode To Joy" from the great "9th" symphony as a tip of the hat to one of Paul''s great hero''s, this track is pure dynamite. From here on in begins a journey through Paul''s musical past, present and possibly even future, with a stunning cover version of the "Get Carter" film music. This is followed by a cover of the Shadow''s "Wonderful Land" that had me smiling from ear to ear at hearing this great song played with such a masterful understanding of the guitar, not to mention that Paul has captured his hero Hank Marvin''s strat tone pretty much perfectly. Next is "Little Geordie Thug" a powerhouse of rock and metal, mixed with a flavour of the kind of folk music you''d hear in a pub in North Shields or Byker, and brought in just under 2 minutes... remarkable!! Next up is "Note To Self". This is a self penned instrumental that is just so lyrical and fluid it made my eyes wet with emotion.
