Chris Spedding may be one of the least known and sadly most ignored guitarists singer/songwriters of the last 30 years. Something like 12 solo albums in and tons and tons of guest appearances and the guy is still going !
1978's "Guitar Graffiti" is an eclectic mix album with loads of cool songs and choice guitar work. In many ways I like this album as much as his masterpiece 1990's "Cafe Days" although both albums are very very different. Two of my favourite Spedding tracks come from "Guitar Graffiti" those being "Time Warp" with his ode to Kraftwerk and the succulent guitar assault on "Frontal Lobotomy" and "hey miss Betty" and "more lobotomy" and " Breakout" ....ok ok ok......side two then !!!!!
Chris Spedding is a fantastic songwriter and guitarist and if you like 70's power pop then this album is for you. Side two will blow your mind !!! Simply awesome music !
