Beyond It All

Elegant Decadence

L.A.based, Alabama native, Allen Hinds, releases his long awaited 5th solo c.d. "Fly South"
Multi layers of slide, acoustic,and ambient guitars support thoughtful,expressive  melodies throughout all 10 songs. 
  Once again, Hinds has created cinematic, soulful pallets of music. This time driven by acoustic guitar, and then as a bonus to us all, adds his creative "vocal like" solos on top.
    Outstanding performances by Vinnie Coaliuta, Jimmy Johnson, Abe Laboriel and others compliment Hinds' sophisticated unique phrasing and heart felt compositions. 
  You can truly hear Hinds' southern roots, on this c.d. 
As if Daniel Lanois meets Lowell George, meets Jeff Beck, meets Robben Ford, meets Alan Holdsworth, all these influences are heard yet in Allen Hinds unique style.
 In particular, the interplay between Coaliuta and Hinds, is spectacular. Magical moments sprinkled all through this c.d.
If you like lush guitar tone, expressive unexpected phrases,dynamic performances, interesting chord changes with memorable melodies, all with absolutely no trace of "smooth jazz", ....then you will love "Fly South”
