| RELENTLESS AIRSTRIKE GET OFF THE DANG ROOF SAILING AWAY A SPANISH ROMANCE NORTH SHORE SAMURAI |
|
| Dennis Williams is a guitarist that makes his home in Canada. The Ontario-area musician just released a new CD by the name of Relentless under his moniker of GTRMAN, and with the various styles of playing that Williams showcases on his new release, the moniker seems to be a good fit. At various points on the album Williams can be found picking, shredding, or just plain playing his fingers off. Of course, it’s not just about the playing style of the musician that makes Dennis Williams the “GTRMAN”. It is also the fact that he has the ability to play many different genres of music, as well. With jazz, metal, rock, even country showing up on Relentless, the listener gets to experience many different sides to Williams. Relentless begins with the album’s title track. A blend of several elements makes the song unusual and unique. Strong rock/metal base, diverse playing styles including jazz, rock and flamenco, and a very energetic feel to the piece combine to create the perfect track to lead off the album. Needless to say, “Relentless” is a very apropos title to the song. |
| The energy continues with the song “Airstrike”. You can almost envision yourself in the audience at an air show waiting for the jet planes to fly overhead. To calm the nerves a little, Williams offers “Love Song” next, with an almost classical feel to it. The track shows the control Williams has when he wants to show some emotion in his playing. A sign of a real musician is the drive to always want to add something more to your abilities. For the song “Get Off The Dang Roof,” Williams picked up the banjo and learned to play a certain song from the movie “Deliverance” as part of the track. A great surprise, and it adds yet another reason why this album is so strong. Then we go from one of the strongest tracks on the album to one of the most unusual: “The Temple of Set” combines a rock base with a few ambient overtones to create an engaging song to bend the ear of the listener. On “Lost”, Williams sets aside the guitar for the piano. This song was the one composition that Williams created with the piano in mind, and with no one to play it for him, Williams sat down and learned to play the song himself (with surprisingly good results). |
| guitar, on “North Shore Samurai”. This strong track is a fitting end to an album that gives the listener many different perspectives on a musician who is much more than just a guitarist. Along with playing many different guitars for the album, Dennis Williams played the bass, the drum parts and every other musical sound on the release. Williams is a true “talent” in every meaning of the word. Running the gamut from rock to metal, from country to classical, Relentless from Dennis “GTRMAN” Williams shows many different sides to the musician. A pleasure to listen to, Williams’ album Relentless makes one wish for more.
