Astonishing guitar playing!
I highly recommend Scotty Anderson's "Triple Stop" CD for anyone who appreciates guitar work with clean tones and virtuoso playing. There's none of the myriad pedals and gimmicks employed here that others use, just talent and a tremendous amount of ability. Scotty segues effortlessly from one style to another, with hints of everyone from Chet Atkins, to Django Rinehardt, to Phil Baugh. There's a fabulous backup band, too, featuring great instrumentation, novel arrangements, and a super-tight sound. Any serious player will appreciate what's being done on this one!

Heartland virtuoso
4 3/4 stars. Scotty Anderson is an unbelievable guitar savant. He has incredible, incredible technique - not just with single note lines, but double, triple stops, jazz chording, finger-picking, you name it. He sounds like he started out playing country, bluegrass, Travis and Atkins style, picked up some rock and blues, and then jumped head first into jazz. A true American stylist. That said, and after countless listenings to his blazing, pyrotechnic solos on this disk and elswhere, I think he needs to get away from the "guitar-freak" approach. If you like jazz and you are fantastically talented, why don't you put together a quartet or quintet of jazz musicians of your caliber, and play true ensemble music? Although his acolytes say he is an incredibly humble, generous guy - and I believe them, he plays a regular gig at a sports bar in Loveland OH for pete's sake - the fact is that he hogs every tune with long, startling solos, and every tune is all about Scotty. Now, Danny Gatton was in a similar position and he put out the memorable New York Stories, where he shared the spotlight with top jazz players. Why don't you try that Scotty?

no one's better
It's obvious that Scotty can play whatever he wants, faster cleaner, and with more advanced melodies and harmonies than 99.999% of his fellow players. Just one thing, though: Another reviewer mentioned a first impression that "Perry Mason" could've been a little dirtier,(but that he changed is mind after hearing the whole piece). I agree with his first impression: I've heard Gatton do this one live, and a little more punch and sustain really made it pop!, in a violin sort-of way. Perhaps my rocked-out ears crave more footpedals(?), but as rule I find guitarists to be -too- 'effected', so it's feels strange to say that perhaps some of these performances could be enhanced with a focus on altered tones more so than pure guitar playng.

Smokin' Scotty Anderson`
Scotty Anderson - what else can you say... This CD shows Scotty's abilities as a player and arranger. Great playing !!!

Wow!
I only heard the samples, but I freaked out!It's what I was looking for all the time..The music is tasteful and more importantly, his use of technique is equally tasteful.Boy,the man can play, let me tell you that.
