Even so, this California guitarist has managed to put out over a dozen albums in a career that began in the early 80s. I've heard a few of them and own a copy of his 1992 release Pandora's Garage, so I was quite pleased when a copy of his new CD arrived on my desk recently. On Local Journeys, Carl enlists the help of renowned bassist Michael Manring and percussionist Brian Knave. Also making guest appearances on the album are cellists Robin Bonnell, Marcie Brown and Jessica Ivry and keyboardists John Baker and George Gousis. Weingarten plays slide guitar, dobro, ebow and uses a wide range of effects on the disc. When I first heard the opening track "SleepTalk" I immediately thought the melody sounded like the theme from the TV show Twin Peaks. The more times I listened to the song though, the more I realized the influence of the famous instrumental track "Sleepwalk" which makes a little more sense here due to the name. That's the story with a lot of this album; on the surface you'll hear one thing but when you dig deeper there's another experience waiting for you. For instance, at first I thought the album had a predominantly world/new age feel but after several plays I have an entirely different view of the music. The atmosphere is soothing and exotic but Weingarten's vision is so unique it's almost impossible to categorize. Manring's fretless bass deftly compliments Weingarten's guitar work and while Brian Knave's percussion is rather understated, he's always there providing a sturdy backdrop to the proceedings. Carl multi-tracks his slide guitar and dobro on most tracks but he's such a talented player that you might guess it was two separate people. These Local Journeys are not only beautiful and relaxing excursions on the surface but also quite stimulating and intricate when you examine them closer. This is the perfect chance to discover this talented guitarist and if you're already familiar with his work, a great opportunity to get reacquainted." --Progressive Ears <LI>SKU: MP-CD1114 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Category138" TITLE="Carl Weingarten">Carl Weingarten</A>: <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product702 TITLE="Carl Weingarten - Hand In The Sand">Carl Weingarten - Hand In The Sand</A> -- " One of the truly great indie musicians working today" RELATED PRODUCTS <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product702 TITLE="Carl Weingarten - Hand In The Sand">Carl Weingarten - Hand In The Sand</A> <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm" TITLE="Discipline Global Mobile Products">Discipline Global Mobile Products</A> <A HREF="http://www.dgmlive.com/shop.htm">Discipline Global Mobile</A> Discipline Global Mobile <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
