Ex-DAVID LEE ROTH Guitarist JASON BECKER Featured On New JOE BECKER CD

October 22, 2005

Former DAVID LEE ROTH/CACOPHONY guitarist Jason Becker makes a guest appearance on the new CD from Joe Becker (no relation). Entitled "Short Stories", the disc features "14 tracks of guitar instrumental fusion — the likes of which could previously only be found peppered across entire instrumental guitar album collections," according to a press release. "A fusion of rock, blues and soul with the slightest, ever-so-tasteful touch of metal, 'Short Stories' is highly recommended to fans of blues, rock and fusion.

"With Jim Beyer handling drum duties, keboard maestro Tim Warrington makes a guest appearance on track four and the legendary Jason Becker makes a guest appearance on track 11, ripping it up like only he can."

This is what Mike Varney had to say after hearing the album (which was one year in the making): "Becker is a very versatile player who runs the gauntlet from shred to ear-catching instrumentals, at times bringing to mind players such as Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson." (Guitar Player magazine, 2005).
