Few guitarists in the rock band category can play the guitar with such clarity and perfect syncopation while bending a note, as Neal Schon can. In Journey's early days, Schon was allowed to Shine, and often incorporated jazz influenced guitar into the rock mix during solos. As their catalog became more pop focused, Schon looked for another way to branch out. Bad English didn't allow for much individual creativity, but Schon's solo albums did. "Late Nite" was released just as Schon left Journey to join Bad English in 1989. Cleverly assembled, the album has a latter-day Pink Floyd flow to it, and that would include subtle choir backgrounds and soaring ballads. Not exactly an instrumental cd, since it has about four songs with vocals in them, but the vocals were never meant to be the main focus here. Instead, Schon writes prolific inspiring rock runs with clean guitar licks, no fret squeaks, no sloppy chord progression. A couple of the David Gilmour albums have this kind of feel to them: instrumentals mixed with vccals, and anthem-oriented ballads and melodies started softly then finished with strong emphasis. Virtually ANYONE could listen to this cd and like something from it. It's also not the kind of album that people would usually object if you played it in the background, or even foreground. It has universal appeal, and I think that is what some quote-Great-quote rock albums have that distinguish them from the also-rans. Schon has really done something special: Do yourself a favor, and get this CD. Jeff Feezle of MacafeezRead full review
Late Nite by Neal Schon is one of my favorite guitar albums that I lost a few years back...and Im very pleased that the new copy I got from you was as good as the original So far everything I purchased from E-Bay is top notch, I have NOTHING to complain about. Being Top-Notch in your dealings with me means you won me over as a trusted buyer and you can expect MORE from me in the future
