September 2014

Funky and lighthearted. My favorite part’s the melodic electric guitar solo that fires up around 1:15.

By Michael Guy Bowman. Original “Harlequin” by Mark Hadley. Guitar by Joseph Aylsworth.

A faithful, almost note-for-note rock cover of Harlequin for most of its length. The bridge at 1:20 is more interesting, though, as it takes off into a little more freestyle solo guitar work.

I especially like the jazzy backing set for this one, and the extended instrumental around 3:00 is sharp and… I don’t know, urbane, I guess? Reminds me of a walk through a busy city.

Bowman’s album Comfortable Bugs is available for purchase at Bandcamp.

It’s a song about the road (well, a road, anyways), and it’s a driving tune if I’ve ever heard one.

The album Shortcuts, by Casual Sunday, is available for purchase at Bandcamp.
