After
2 hugely successful instrumental albums in “Dreamscapes” and
“Guitar Odyssey”, Austrian guitar virtuoso Milan Polak
returns with his first solo vocal album entitled
“Straight”. The album is powered by 13
rocking tracks that not only showcase Milan’s guitar prowess
but also his great bluesy vocals backed by a killer band
of Randy Coven (bass, ex Malmsteen, Ark, MCM), John
Macaluso (drums, ex Malmsteen, Ark, John Macaluso &
Union Radio) and Fabio Trentini
(bass).
On
the new album Milan comments, “'Straight' stands for the
whole concept of this album. One day I sat down and thought
about a single word that could perfectly describe me & my
music and I found it in 'straight'. The term 'straight' has a
lot of different meanings and they all apply to my
personality, my lyrics, my music and my attitude. It stands
for the way this album looks, sounds and was produced - no FX,
no BS. What you see & hear is what you get - 100%
Milan.
Enjoy!“.
On
the change of direction, “I had started to realize that
playing instrumental guitar music only offers limited
possibilities, so I decided to take a step into another
direction and write songs with lyrics & vocals to reach a
wider audience”. Fans of Milan’s
guitar work will not find any lack of fret board prowess but
the addition of vocals gives a more balanced
packaged. |
