Skybrain Surfing

Adam Carl Stephens
Sold through Guitar Nine thru 2012

Skybrain Surfing is an instrumental rock guitar album recorded by Australian guitarist Adam Carl Stephens which features 12 tracks offering upbeat arrangements that touch on other genres such as blues, R&B, funk and jazz. Eleven of the songs are originals, and Stephens includes a cover of Ray Charles' "I'm Coming Home" to round out the dozen. Skybrain Surfing contains a diversity of tunes and styles that present an inventive and adaptable player/composer. Stephens' playing is well supported by some pretty heavyweight friends including bass player Ronnie Peel and drummer Mick O'Shea. While Stephens is a more than competent soloist, it's his rhythm playing on tracks like "Mungo Brush" and "Kombi Surf Vibes" where he really shines.
