Listened to this the other day and liked it alot. I've been meaning to get back for a better listen.......and here I am ....hahahahahaha!! A VERY AWESOME JAM!!! No doubts at all about your superb guitar talent and influences. I love the guitar and the drum work.........every once in a while I hear the bass. As a bass player, I'd like to hear the bass, as others have commented.......or maybe it was just toned up with no bottom or this is a live recording, as Blake had mentioned. Either way, an excellent listen.

a live or semi-live recording? Would characterize this as jam band style....really some quite cool stuff going on, the guitar and drums being most prominent. Listened to it while working and this is a very enjoyable piece. ..blake

A lengthy jam like concpt piece incorporating various guitar sounds and a few odd meters and tonalities. Quite spontaneous and pscyadelic in its delivery the many variables keep it interesting. Not cluttered with too many sounds and intertwined contrasting elements such as the use of ethnic scalar passages all add to a most entertaining mix. Full exploration within the range of the whole concept allows it all to stay together as a single unit. An enjoyable listen for sure.
<p>Wes Henrard is currently in the process of creating his second fully solo album titled "If Life Gives You Lemons, Make French Fries". The full length album is expected to be available by late summer of 2010.</p><p>Wes Henrard first laid his finger on a fret board at age twelve. At the time he didn't think much of music but had always been around it seeing as his first concert was at age two for a Santana show. The guitar he was to learn on was his fathers from his grade school music class. Wes, at first did not want to take guitar lessons. He went to Pementel & Sons guitar shop in Albuquerque NM were he would begin his journey into the world of sanely insane musicians.</p><p>When he walked into the guitar shop it was like an old western movie bar seen, only they were looking negatively at the guitar. The first words from one of the brothers that worked there was "this in unplayable". He then proceeded up a very small spiral staircase in which he took down a guitar. When Wes laid his eyes upon it he new he had to learn to play it. It was a Jonson blues guitar, It was Black, Jumbo body, acoustic electric master piece. From that moment he became a different person all together. </p><p>Wes plays the electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, bouzouki, and many other instruments including the programing of all the drums you hear in the music. You can listen to his previous album "A Journey Of Being" at weshenrard.webs.com. Be sure to go by the in site store to pick up your copy of the full length CD as well as other great merchandice.</p><p>Just to name a few of his instruments, he plays a customized Epi Les Paul standard, a custom 27 fret lyrebird, Dean VX Flying V, Dean 7 String vendetta custom, custom SDGR slap bass, sigma martin TBL1U, Johnson Jumbo blues, vintage 1950 harmony 12 string, as well as many others. Music is in every way jis life. It is his soul, his passion, and his strive.</p>
