"Master of the Telecaster. Only a select few have earned that title: Roy Buchanan, Albert Lee, Danny Gatton, Mark Knopfler. To that list, now add Matt Rae. The proof is in the pudding - his self-titled, mostly original, instrumental CD. There's a lot of musical territory covered here - country, rock, blues, funk, swing, and even fusion. But it's all held together by that legendary Tele sound: clean, clear, funky, and shimmering." -- Roger Z

| "ROAD RAGE - 4-STARS! Cowboy twango, pickups on back roads, bootleggers in Fords, and noone is being nice. "Road Rage" is an infectious and very bouncy country track that just not shy about it."
