After
2 hugely successful instrumental albums
in “Dreamscapes” and “Guitar
Odyssey”, Austrian guitar virtuoso
Milan Polak returns with his first solo
vocal album entitled “Straight”.
The album is powered by 13 rocking tracks
that not only showcase Milan’s guitar
prowess but also his great bluesy vocals
backed by a killer band of Randy Coven (bass,
ex Malmsteen, Ark, MCM), John Macaluso (drums,
ex Malmsteen, Ark, John Macaluso & Union
Radio) and Fabio Trentini (bass).
On the new album Milan comments,
“'Straight' stands for the whole concept of
this album. One day I sat down and thought
about a single word that could perfectly
describe me & my music and I found it in
'straight'. The term 'straight' has a lot of
different meanings and they all apply to my
personality, my lyrics, my music and my
attitude. It stands for the way this album
looks, sounds and was produced - no FX, no
BS. What you see & hear is what you get -
100% Milan. Enjoy!".
On
the change of direction, “I had started
to realize that playing instrumental guitar
music only offers limited possibilities,
so I decided to take a step into another
direction and write songs with lyrics &
vocals to reach a wider audience”.
Fans of Milan’s guitar work will not
find any lack of fret board prowess but
the addition of vocals gives a more balanced
packaged.
