The Believer's Freedom
Untitled release

First of all, I have to tell you guys that one person, John Stockman did everything on this eight song guitar album.
The notable fact is that he laid down all the parts on this musical effort; however, he did use a drum machine. Ergo, the drum parts were not exceptional, but were at least satisfactory.
Other than the too consistent pulse of the drum machine, this is one emotional, guitar album. Stockman has some songs, like "Stringed Appetite," that rock, yet have a cool groove at the same time. Stockman supplies a variety of emotions in his songs-especially in his slower guitar songs which are melodic, reflective, and thought-provoking.
If you like emotional and melodic guitar albums (or prefer saucy, taunting guitar albums), send $5 to: John Stockman, 1728 W. 63rd St., Tulsa, OK 74132.
