Actually Yngwie is playing mostly rhythm on the majority of the tracks. Our Man In the North handled most of the lead work- hence the sour expression on Yngwie's face in above the photo.

HE is making people talk about it.
But, are they buying it?
And, are his longtime friends excited about this album? :hmm
[besides Shred :ganz]
There's a red Ferrari over yonder...
I loved Yngwie in the '80s, and Odyssey is one of my all time favourite albums. A blues-album from him is a good idea, but it's ruined by lack of attention to lyrics and way to busy leadwork during verses and choruses. The solos are enjoyable, but take up too much space and time. The production is a typical "home studio" with plugin drums and all the rest done by Yngwie himself. It could have been something with more time and resources put into it.
Not too bad, all things considered.
But I do have to ask ... does he get paid by the note? :ganz :spabout
The wrath of Shred is a thing to behold......
:hee
shred, you know we love you.
So exactly who gets to say what is and isn't blues?
He plays hard, he has a killer vibrato, and this is his style of blues. Very few people can play like Yngwie, irrespective of whether they want to or not, but I think his technical ability, tone and musicianship have elevated the standard of electric guitar since he appeared on the scene.
Now, my problem is that this album has a very poor production value, not worth of a professional musician. it sounds like a home made demo, with plug-in drums, a poor mastering job, and the vocals are objectively awful.
A properly budgeted blues album with Yngwie doing his thing, real musicians and maybe a few high caliber guest singers would have been amazing!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion!
We all get to say this if we choose to.
But it is always just personal opinion. :salude

Do you consider Ten years after blues?? Gary moore? This is the most cliche’s shit you hear all the time.. slow is feeling and fast without feelings.. it’s these “tan pants” old fart i love the bluuuuz and i know what is and what is not i would have picked cotton too if i could to play the blues BS.. dude.. if you can say it in one noteThat's nothing to do with the blues in my opinion, I'm sure if shredding and playing at a million miles an hour are your thing (it isn't mine!) he is good at what he does but blues it isn't.
Blues is about feeling and restraint and the notes you don't play are just as important as the ones you do - there aren't many notes that he didn't play there!
