Behold Electric Guitar, Paul Gilbert‘s 15th solo LP, continues the erstwhile facemelter’s evolution into an ever-more versatile synthesizer of blues, pop, jazz, and more. It also features a song called “A Herd Of Turtles”, easily the most delightfully bizarre song of Gilbert’s career – half groove overload, half spoken-word piece. While there are as yet no streaming options available for the album, it’s a tremendous addition to an already superlative discography, and one that should be sought out by anybody who likes their shredding fun and funky. Plus, just look at this album cover!
