BRAD “GUITAR” WILSON BOUNDLESS
Cali Bee Music

Brad “Guitar” Wilson makes his intentions clear from the outset: Boundless is an album about stretching the boundaries of blues-rock without losing sight of the guitar. Across sixteen tracks, Wilson blends blues, rock, soul, Americana, country, and pop into a polished collection that puts his fluid, melodic fretwork firmly centre stage. Opening with B.B. King’s The Thrill Is Gone, Wilson takes the classic into smoother, contemporary territory, delivering a respectful performance while adding his own distinctive guitar voice. The originals are where the album really comes into its own. More of You, rides an infectious groove, while Gonna Stay or Go, turns up the heat with soulful vocals and muscular guitar. Living Underground, provides a more reflective moment, its atmospheric arrangement carrying a poignant message about the human cost of war. There is plenty of variety. Let’s Dance Tonight, brings rockabilly swagger, Wild And Free, heads towards Southern rock, while the acoustic-led Home, adds a rootsier dimension. Sky Full Of Rain, slows the pace with some beautifully expressive blues guitar, and Between The Hours, delivers a heavier blues-rock punch, driven by Hammond organ and Wilson’s searing six-string work. Elsewhere, Wilson tackles Tears For Fears’ Everybody Wants to Rule the World, with a soulful blues makeover, while San Francisco Nights, introduces a jazzier feel. Produced by Francis Buckley, this release is slick without becoming sterile. Wilson’s guitar always serves the song rather than simply showing off, making this an accomplished, accessible, and thoroughly enjoyable blues-rock outing.
