David Gilmour - David Gilmour
Our price: $5.95
Stellar debut
Let's be honest - if you're expecting Pink Floyd, you're going to be disappointed. Without Mason, Waters, and Wright, David Gilmour isn't creating the magic that was PF, but it's still great material. Whether you're a fan of the voice or the guitar, or a new fan looking to try something out, this is a decent buy. The songs are all easy to listen to, and it's just a simple formula that works.
David Gilmour's best solo album
This has to be by far the best of David Gilmour's solo work. It sounds very much like a typical Pink Floyd album. The guitar solo on "Raise Raise My Rent", is awesome. "There's No Way Out Of Here" is a timelsss classic. And "No Way" has some excellent lap-steel playing. I like this album better than "About Face", and "On An Island", which are also excellent albums.
Tasty Gilmour Guitar
I was happy to re-discover this awesome disc of Gilmour's early solo work.
It's packed full of tasty guitar solo's and David's classic vocals.
I believe this disc has been overlooked by most Pink Floyd fans.
I can't help but wonder why it is rarely played on classic-rock radio.
Even Gilmour himself has abandoned most of these wonderful songs.
I would love to hear the instrumental "Raise my Rent" on his next tour.
This is a strong five-star disc for any Gilmour Fan!
Pink Floyd Guitarist went solo SO LONG AGO...
Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmore went solo with this self titled LP when I was in high school. As a devoted Pink Floyd fan I bought it then. It did not dissapoint, it was 'Floyd flavored' with his distinctive vocals and guitar riffs. It also took the departures that I'm sure he wanted to try with the band, but that didn't fit in with their latest releases; Wish You Were Here and Animals.
I recently purchased the album on CD and 'bam' I was back in time listening to a great LP that still holds up from a talented, versatile singer and axe man.
Highly recommended for Floyd fans who missed it the first time around or like me who were just missing it.
Great Guitar!
I have been listening to David Gilmour for years and he is still one of my all time favorites. He is a great guitar player with a heck of a voice. If you like Pink Floyd then you must try this solo album by David Gilmour. MOST EXCELENT!
