Description

2014, INFLUENCE is an apt title for an album from arguably the most underheralded guitar hero on the circuit. Philip Sayce grew up during the ´80s. The Welsh born axe hero, who came of age in Canada, avoided hair metal, prog-rock and missed out on alt-rock. Sayce was weaned on such guitar heroes as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Mark Knopfler. Sayce knocks it out of the park with an array of visceral covers and inspired originals. The blues guitar whiz is wise enough to realize that it doesn't matter if you're an interpreter or a writer, it's about delivering a song that's going to sear the listener's brain. Sayce certainly knows how to pick songs. He unearths Graham Nash's long forgotten ,,Better Days", which is the gorgeous centerpiece and perhaps defining INFLUENCE track. Influence' might have been inspired in part by the endless dues paying he has suffered through but the moving, well-constructed album is the sensitive recording artist's ticket to the next level.
