New Michael Landau Album "Organic Instrumentals" To Be Released February 2012

Great News! Guitar legend Michael Landau will release his latest album Organic Instrumentals on February 13th. From the Mascot Label Group website:

"Michael Landau is perhaps the most widely respected session guitarist of all time. On "Organic Instrumentals", he once again proves to be the ultimate connoisseur of taste and tone as he navigates a cinematic assortment of musical landscapes. Landau contrasts some of the most melodically beautiful phrases ever recorded with passion drenched guitar solos, resulting in a guitar tour de force that must be heard to be believed. Acting as both engineer and producer, Landau is a master craftsman, working the recording console with the same artistry with which he approaches playing the guitar." See tracklisting below. The album is also available for pre-order via the Mascot Label Group.
