Journey With Me (Red Lab Records, 2012)
Electric fiddler Noel Webb makes a big splash with his EP Journey With Me. The recording includes a mix of styles that meander in various directions. One of the best cuts is the title track Journey With Me which has much in common with the contemporary instrumental jazz-rock sounds that were made in the 1990s, during the new age music boom. If you liked Jerry Goodman’s violin adventures, you’ll enjoy this piece.
Another highlight is Webb’s fiery shredding version of the Led Zeppelin classic ‘Kashmir’. This is electric violin rock at its best.
On the last piece, ‘Scream,” Webb takes his electric violin into frenzied techno dance territory.
The rest of the pieces on the EP go into a hip hop and smooth jazzy direction that has less appeal.
Noel Webb has had a successful career as an actor. He was a principal actor on the television soap opera General Hospital.
