since becoming george clinton's guitar player, eric mcfadden has turned into one of san francisco's phantom treasures, a rarely glimpsed dark angel of blurred guitar strings, swinging dreadlocks, and flashing teeth; but rest assured, mcfadden's talents continue to mature even as his countenance remains frozen in time. mcfadden began winning awards for his guitar playing decades ago, but his youthful flair would hardly appear as a glimmer next to the player he has become. mercurial rock improvisations, sexy r&b rhythms, elegant gypsy jazz runs, whirling bluegrass fills, opulent classical chords, and deep european mandolin strains flow effortlessly from mcfadden's fingertips while his dusty, road-parched voice embodies the crossroads where he must have sold his soul.

the eric mcfadden trio's joy of suffering gets my vote as the best and most original guitar recording of the year so far. the overdriven tones mcfadden conjures by amplifying an ancient gibson archtop are as unique as his gypsy-jazz-inspired trills and carnival-noir tales of sin and redemption. he realizes his potential on joy of suffering, a record that may just win him the legions of devotees an artist of his uncompromising character and unquestionable quality rightly deserves.
