"Spheres of Influence"
"Spheres of Influence" is the long-awaited solo CD from guitarist George Vinson. As a session player and producer/engineer he has for the last 28 years worked for hundreds of artists and recorded literally thousands of songs, jingles, and commercials. George is no stranger to band projects either; as a founding member of Paradox (and the earlier incarnation Spirit Band) he helped land several cuts on local and regional radio stations around the Southeast back in the late 80's and early 90's. He was a touring member of CCM hit-maker Glenn Garrett's band and went on to play with local favorites Sportz, Randy Hunter, and many others. Today George continues to lend his talent to various artists around the area including Marc Phillips, Kevin Derryberry, and Kevin Williams. He is an in-demand guitarist and bassist at studios around his home base of Birmingham, Alabama, but will soon be relocating to the Nashville, Tennessee area.
With "Spheres of Influence" George is finally pushed from the backline to the forefront. But rather than simply put out a CD of guitar-driven instrumental music, George wanted to do something a little bit different. While SOI is a great mixture of great guitar tones and textures, roughly half of the project features vocal-driven songs. The other half of this project (the instrumentals) range from the Pink Floyd-inspired atmospherics of the opener "Spheres" and the powerful Beatles/George Harrison tribute "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", to the more intimate acoustic-based originals "The Mayor of Ponte Tresa" and the woefully short "Segue". "The Fountain" is a GV arrangement of the old hymn "There Is A Fountain" which he has been performing for years.
But how does a 'non-singer' like George not do an all-instrumental recor
