Review “Guitarist Donald Loignon at Full Throttle”, Le Musicien, May-June 1997

The review

Here is the very first album by guitarist Donald Loignon, where he performs his own instrumental compositions alongside bassist Jean Bolduc and drummer Maxime Veilleux. His pieces, dominated by electric guitar, do not fit into a specific style, blending classic rock, rock fusion and hard rock, as well as blues and ballads.

The guitarist does not follow a set direction but rather relies on what he feels while working on techniques and chords.
