DAVID GILMOUR

This is the first solo album by Pink Floyd's guitarist. It is basically a collection of enjoyable straightforward rock songs with vocals and a few instrumentals. There is nothing prog about it, but it is still a good album. Most of the songs are mid-tempo with meaningful lyrics, David Gilmour's excellent voice and stellar guitar playing. Nothing really stands out on it, the songs are very blues oriented rock and there really isn't anything challenging about it. However, I have owned this one on vinyl and CD for many years, and I do still enjoy listening to it. If you enjoy the more rock oriented music of Pink Floyd and you love David Gilmour's guitar style, you will love this album. The songs grow on you just like his songs do.

Not much else to add here. It's pretty much what you would expect if you don't expect any progressive rock. If you have that expectation out of the way, you will not be disappointed. It's an excellent way to round off your all exclusive prog rock influenced collection.
