Jeff Eden : Night and Day Songs for Solo Guitar -cdr- (US,2008)****
I pretty much liked this nearly-demo album of this unfortunately still rather unknown guitarist, with a beautiful, moody and melodic, clear and dew-fresh expressions, with an almost song-approach on his guitar while picking. For instance, I very much wanted to hum along with the “Evening song”. Especially the bass tones (on the first tracks) give some of these (mentioned as Songs) melodies body, as if with vocal bass tones. “Moon Song” is more ethereal (slightly echoed). “In the dark” is a rhythmical melody that could easily evolve, as a core, into a song, or that’s how it inspires me again to add my own vocal fantasies while listening, out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. I can also sense the slight feeling of disappointment transformed into beauty through inner strength on “Bad Luck”, again, just like a song without words. “Night Winds” includes some slide effects and drives passionately, just like the winds. Also “First Light” uses slide effects as melancholic touches to this, what appears to me as an evening mood song (or is it more like a shadowy morning?), while “Across the lake” sounds like a tune describing a moody staring at a lake. A promising talent.
