Dig!

Description

Dig! – an instrumental album – is the sophomore album by the American guitarist and composer Jeff Scheetz, released on Re-Flexx Records in 1992, licensed from Pure Metal and distributed by Star Song Communications. The album was engineered by Jon Mathias at Re-flexx Records Recording Studio in Overland Park, Kansas; with Jeff Scheetz and Mathias producing.

Featuring Jeff Scheetz on guitar backed by a rhythm section consisting of Eddie Pruitt on bass and Rick Morrow on drums.

Jeff Scheetz, for those who do not know, is one of the few Christian metal guitar instrumentalists. His first album ‘Woodpecker Stomp‘ was one of those albums that almost got away, but remained unreleased in the UK. For that reason Jeff is still an unknown to most of the British Christian metal following. This new album corrects the problem of ‘Woodpecker Stomp’ (under-mixed lead guitar) and at last we can clearly hear Jeffs very distinctive style. Just how good a guitar player is Jeff? Well, he was in line to replace David Zaffiro in Bloodgood but decided instead to go his own way. Jeff is currently employed by Yamaha and spends most of his time touring the US shops showing off his skill. The music covers many various styles, including the blues. For all you guitar fanatics out there ‘Dig’ is a must and is far more entertaining than the debut offering by Lanny Cordola. [Dave Williams, Cross Rhythms, October 1992]
