Myke Jackson / Mychael 's Neon Dreams (1979), by request

 




This little known and unfortunately obscure American rocker was first in the harder band Felt from Huntsville, Alabama, who put out one LP in 1971, then went out on his own with the masterpiece ssw work Alone in 1975.  Strongly recommend everyone hear that one. Subsequently he put out Neon Dreams, which is more commercial-friendly but at the same time, nice and electric and therefore quite interesting. The strength of the songwriting is slightly reduced but I think it's worth hearing for sure. And the guitar playing is just lovely to hear, his solos, as I presume it's him playing both lead and rhythm, are wonderfully adept and interesting.

The title track:



The instrumental Breathless, from the Life Sonata, which is a wholly instr. composition in 3 parts, not progressive rather just normal hard rock with some nice singing electric guitar soloing:
