One of my favorite tracks of all time, by any artist, is this Adrian Belew track from the 1989 release "Mr. Music Head". It really should be held back for a warm July night post, but here's hoping this one will bring some warmth to your wintry season. Beautifully punctuated with a light bebop piano riff and pseudo(?) reed section solos,"One Of Those Days" focuses on those beautiful moments when...

After recording acoustic and electric guitar versions of this songAdrian Belew finally found the right take for this eco-minded track. The strings made all the difference in the world if you were asking me. So big deal he's not playing guitar on this.He uses that other instrument he's mastered so well.His voice.

Mostly solo material from his three recent CDs (I've only heard the first one and recognized a couple tracks) plus a few oldies (Lone Rhino, Big Electric Cat) I knew and the requisite Crimson tune...

Saw Adrian and his new team at the Granada in Dallas recently. They rocked! They played some old solo stuff like Big Electric Cat and even more Crimson which was a nice suprise (Frame by Frame, Three of a Perfect Pair, Elephant Talk). Must say though, I don't like the sound of his new Parker Fly Guitar. He raves about it as it was custom made for him and I'm sure he is making a ton of money fro...
