I dove headfirst into Jonas Hellborg's career this year and could have picked just about any (or even all) of 5 or 6 of his albums. I shouldn't really say "his" - most are collaborative affairs (though he does much of the writing) and one of his main partners is phenomenal guitarist Shawn Lane who can play incredibly fast, but also very lyrically and with subtlety. This particular album combines these two with Indian percussionist V. Selvaganesh (son of Vikku Vinayakram from Shakti). The interplay is stunning at times with the three musicians tuned to exactly the same frequency.
