One
of the most accomplished and creative World Fusion guitarists on the
planet today, Lawson Rollins released his fourth solo album
Full Circle in mid 2013. In the spirit of Lawsons
other excellent solo albums, the 12 track, 56 minute Full Circle
CD features solid production from Dominic Camardella. While
admittedly approaching the recording sessions with a less is
more philosophy, on Full Circle Lawson keeps the sound
full and fresh, enhancing his spirited guitar work with the backing
of several gifted musicians who assist in filling in the colors behind
Lawsons often fiery and quite nimble guitar work. Skillfully
injecting his tasteful Flamenco fusion-based nylon string classical
guitar flavors into the diverse musical worlds of Afro-Cuban, rumba,
bossa nova, samba, Middle Eastern, tango, reggae, rock, classical
and jazz, on Full Circle Lawson arrives at something that borders
on sublime, instrumental, pan-global guitar-centric jazz that is truly
colorful and invigorating. Surely Lawsons most well-rounded
album yet, Full Circle is overflowing with a wide ranging sonic
backdrop of sounds that makes you feel that one minute you're high
in the Colorado Rockies then the next youre in Rio for Carnival
time. In addition to the overall winning direction of the entire Full
Circle CD, with its memorable and majestic guitar-centric Americana
flavored / Metheny-esque title track, the song Full Circle
is also one of Lawsons greatest compositions. Travel in style
around Lawson Rollins' guitar universe and arrive back home safe and
sound with Full Circle. www.LawsonRollins.com
