(More customer reviews)This CD is smokin'...red hot. I'm tired of people cutting down good musicians. The same has happened to Frank Marino & Robin Trower back in the 70's...everybody's a critic. Lance Lopez rocks...flat out...and is a very talented guitarist in his own right. How many guitarist playing this style haven't borrowed from Hendrix...get over it!!! Hendrix was great but he's gone now...and it's time to start supporting up and coming artist like Lance & Joe Bonamassa...if not they will disappear...and we'll be forced to listen to the sterilized garbage the majors are putting out. Recommended to anyone who likes smokin'funky dirty metalized bluez rock...with blistering solo's.

"Wall Of Soul", the second studio disc from young, gifted blues/rock axeslinger Lance Lopez of Dallas, Texas, features 12 killer trax (62 minutes) of outstanding,powerful, intense, bad-ass, funky, bluesy, retro-70's Hendrixy heavy guitar power trio rock of the highest order.On "Wall Of Soul" (his first disc for GROOVEYARD RECORDS, a new label dedicated to TOTAL GUITAR), Lance Lopez digs deep and produces an amazing set of awesome powerful bluesy heavy guitar riffage that is all his own and easily hits classic status.Lance Lopez is a true heavy guitar hero and riffmaster supreme.He also has an amazing powerful soulful voice that is the perfect match for his tough, bad-ass heavy guitar riffage.The "Wall Of Soul" disc is by far his finest hour and ultimate musical statement to date. In creating the music for the "Wall Of Soul" disc, Lance Lopez has found the ultimate rhythm section to round out his heavy power trio in the form of John Garvin on drums and Daniel Williams on bass. Two awesome players in their own rite who lay down the perfect foundation / groove for brother Lance to trip his awesome heavy guitar riffage upon.And as an added bonus, the "Wall Of Soul" disc features special guests and good musical brothers ERIC GALES and DOUG PINNICK (KING'S X) on several killer trax.Eric Gales co-produced and lends his mega-awesome rippin' Hendrixy heavy guitar riffage on 3 killer trax and Doug Pinnick sings lead vocals on the epic classic last track: "Time", an amazing deep nine minute musical document that features both Eric Gales and Doug Pinnick along with brother Lance. "Time" is the perfect way to wind-down this amazing disc. The "Wall Of Soul" disc also features two killer heavy bad-ass cover trax in the form of "Spanish CastleMagic" by Jimi Hendrix and "Shame The Devil", a way-kool obscure Robin Trower track. Brother Lance gets down hard and does musical justice on both trax. "Wall Of Soul" is an awesome heavy guitar disc that is HIGHLY recommended to fans of JIMI HENDRIX (long live the musical spirit of JIMI), ROBIN TROWER, FRANK MARINO, ERIC GALES,KING'S X, S.R.V., DOYLE BRAMHALL, EDDIE HAZEL, LENNY KRAVITZ (imagine Lenny Kravitz meets Hendrix!!!), STEVIE SALAS, RICHIE KOTZEN, JOE BONAMASSA, SKY HIGH and just about any other killer get-down rippin' blues/rock axeslingers you have ever heard.Lance Lopez is the "real" deal and he's definitely right up there with the best of them. Combining a kool youthful funky image with musical skills that are unparalleled in the genre, Lance has played guitar with Buddy Miles & Lucky Peterson, gigging regularly in and out of Texas with his trio. He has also done several tours of Europe, opening for such notables as B.B. King and Steve Vai.Lance Lopez has built up a solid reputation as one of the up and coming heavy guitar stars on the scene. The "Wall Of Soul" disc is the perfect platform for this rising young guitar star to step upon and reach the wider recognition and credit that he truly deserves. Never has there been a better time to take a musical trip with Lance Lopez on the "Wall Of Soul".
