I'd heard a couple of tracks from this guitar slinger and, reading the reviews stating "better than Bonamassa" "almost as good as Bonamassa", well, I thought it would be worth a less than £10 flutter to see whether or not the guy is as good as claimed - and is he? You betcha!Forget the comparison with JB or SRV, just listen to this guy and take it all in. He can rock with the best of the current crop -witness: ARE YOU READY - great hook that'll get into your brain and stay there! - and on the 7 minutes plus LITTLE MISS AMERICA, you hear the fluid bluesy style reminiscent of Mr Trower (I almost said Hendrix!).The writing, the guitar playing and the vocalisations of this man show categorically, that he is going to scale the dizzy heights too - with, or without the comparisons!The sleeve notes to this set tell the story of how this unknown artist went to the Rockpalast and blew everyone away - well, listening to the CD and watching the accompanying DVD, I can well hear and see why - can't wait to check him out live as he's got to be way up there with the very best!BUY!

You cant go wrong here with this 2010 album by Phillip Sayce, and bonus dvd recorded in Germany with 4 live tracks. Born in N. Wales and moving to Canada as a 2year old, Phillip Sayce is finally making a breakthrough in the Blues/rock field. He has developed his own style and sound . This album at 46 mins plus demonstrates Phillip's varied style, The infectious ,catchy opener " Changes " sets the standard." Bitter Monday " song 3 grabs you instantly and on the album goes 11 songs in all.The dvd showcases 4 songs from the " Rockpalast" where he opened for Black stone cherry.Yes this is a solid rocky sound and if you haven't heard a lot of Phillip Sayce this album demonstrates what he is all about.

I don't much like comparisons such as "better than Joe" and having been lucky enough to see Joe B live in Birmingham just two days ago, it is hard to see how anyone could be judged better than the 2 hours of ear shattering guitar genius that he subjected us to, and I mean genius - but that said, when I played this CD for the first time a week ago (thanks yet again Amazon for another great "if you liked that you'll like this" recommendation), as soon as the first bars of Changes washed over me all the hairs on my arms and neck stood up - the noise is just sublime.He is clearly an absolute master of the instrument, and I would class his style of rock as very much out of the 70s - raw and ear-filling without overdoing the menacing aggressive bass beat which modern rock seems to suffer from so much. Can't put my finger on why, but it reminds me a little of Pat Travers.I love it, really happy to have just discovered him, and I'll be buying more. Nobody who likes this genre can fail to be blown away by this. Enjoy!

I initially posted a fairly average 3-star review for this but I changed my mind. Indeed, if you get into some blues rock stuff Amz will recommend Ph. Sayce. Well I bought it along with some Aynsley Lister, just to give it a try. Aynsley blew me away at once but this took a while longer. Now I really like it and it is a mindblowing album! This is closer to Audioslave and Chickenfoot than Luther Allison, so not much "blues" in the rock - but forget music tags. This is a collection of great songs, no duds, the man has a good voice and can obviously hold his own on guitar to say the least. The guitar work here is good, great in parts, but not central like Aynsley's.Beyond this personal opinion, the other reviewers have given more details.Highly recommended, fantastic!

This is a great album, its a rocky blues album, its actuallt owned by my dad but i like it so much i keep stealing it. It has many great tracks such as are you ready, changes, my pearl and daydream tonight. Its a really strong album and his guitar playinf is phenonimal btw..

Love this. My music 'base' is prog-rock, metal etc but this is how I like to hear guitar played live. Blistering stuff from a real talent. And from these shores too! It was an amazon suggestion that popped up, so I checked out a couple of reviews and went for it. It's on in the car most times when I'm on my own. Have to keep the right foot in check through the first few songs!!

What else can you say to describe this great CD? In the crowd of exciting, young blues players around today, Philip Sayce stands out for his uncompramising and thrilling approach.Just buy this, slot it in, and hang on to your socks!

Having not heared anything by Philip Sayce, I read the reviews and as others thought it was worth a try. I am more into the blues than rock and with the references to Stevie Ray thought I would go for it. I was looking for something new. The album is a good rock album, subtle bits soon move into big rock productions, so if you are after a modern blues album beware, check out King King, 24 pecos, Monkey Junk etc. Its a good rock album but not what I had been looking for.
