he was as f*cked-up as you are."

Rhino is a GREAT label.  They have put out some excellent discs.  Another that comes to mind s the Sundazed label, Sarge.  Check them out here:

I have a ton of Rhinos but also a handful of Sundazed discs: The Toys, The Buckinghams, and a compilation CD of obscure garage/psychedelic rock bands from Texas.

I am always transported back to a wonderful time and place in my youth when I listen to this album.

Exactly what I was talking about.  Just some stinking cool stuff on those labels.

James

'The Story of Light', a solo album of original material by virtuoso guitarist and visionary composer Steve Vai. The title comes out on Favored Nations Entertainment, the label Vai founded in 1999. Its sprawling and expressive 12-song set continues a conceptual and cosmic narrative arc begun on the artist's acclaimed 2005 album 'Real Illusions: Reflections'. Throughout, three-time Grammy winner Vai's lead guitar is as lyrically resonant as it is technically masterful, his licks and solos bending sounds and in listeners' minds in equal measure. 'The Story of Light' follows the journey of a man driven mad by grief, intertwining tragedy, revelation, enlightenment, and redemption. 'I m always pursuing knowledge. I'm a seeker of spiritual equilibrium and music is a big part of that,' says Vai. 'I've been obsessed with these kinds of ideas for years.' (Amazon.com)
