There are, heaven knows, zillions of guitarists out in the world today. You've got to wonder about that sometimes, because that means that, in your lifetime you'll never get to know, or even hear, all of them.
I bring this up as part of this review because, I'm really at a loss for words. Leigh Williams is a technically brilliant guitarist. His debut solo CD, Absolute Zero, is an instrumental tour de force. If you love fast and flashy guitar playing, then you'll definitely love this album. Every track puts Williams' playing front and center for your listening pleasure. You can't help but sit spellbound during the first three songs (Calm Before the Storm, Clear Blue and FOG (Finger of God)) as he flies all over the fretboard.
