Guys with guitars can sometimes be a dime a dozen, and it seems like lately they're everywhere. That doesn't mean that talent shouldn't be noticed or rewarded. Greg Holden's album "A Word In Edgeways" is a subtle masterpiece of acoustic pop that has turned heads but remained in the shadows. "The Chase" is a great lead off track, setting the tone for the entire disc showcasing all of Holden's abilities in one concise tune. He is an excellent lyricist and combines that with his incredible guitar playing skills to create very interesting and accessible pop tunes. Although Greg Holden may still be virtually unknown, he has laid the groundwork with this album for an incredible career, and great things can be expected from his musical endeavours in the future.
