Includes 13 superb, dynamic, blues-based, soul-powered, retro-sonic, guitar fueled songs performed and recorded with the utmost attention to detail, respect and excellence devoted to the great guitar man and his music.

Stavros Papadopoulos is an awesome, prolific, gifted modern day guitar hero & Rock n' Roll Savior on a mission to Keep the Rock alive at his Freerock Studio in Kavala City, Greece with the Shadowplay Project and his many other excellent bands including Revolution Highway, Super Vintage, Freerock Saints, Hard Driver, Hush N' Rush & Universal Hippies who have all released a multitude of killer, essential discs that are highly recommended if you heavily dig serious heavy guitar rock music performed and produced with true love, passion & inspiration. An authentic, legit, classic, six string riff:master axeslinger & retro:sonic mojo:man perfectionist who reaches for the stars and always lands with impressive focus, strength & musical greatness. Our good musical brother Stavros Papadopoulos has done an amazing, legit, professional job with his excellent re-creation of the Rory Gallagher Mojo at both guitar playing and vocals. The Shadowplay Project also features the excellent musical talents of Panagiotis Zabourlis on slide guitar & acoustic, Sakis Dovolis on guitar, John Christopoulos on bass and Chris Lagios & Nick Kalivas on drums. All world-class Greek musicians who deserve praise for their efforts.

The Shadowplay Project - "Paint The Skies Blue Forever" is a remarkable tribute disc that shines a bright light on the musical legacy of the legendary, long haired, all natural Irish Strat axeslinger, guitar hero of monumental proportions. Rory Gallagher is a supreme guitar rock "Moonchild" who "Paints the Skies Blue Forever" and makes the world a better place to live in with his awesome music. Long Live The Musical Spirit Of Rory Gallagher.

Nice post, thank you, Bluestender! To be honest, I'd be a bit happier if the album review wasn't written by the musicians themselves: "multi-talented, excellent, outstanding, awesome, prolific, gifted, killer, essential discs, master axeslinger, perfectionist who reaches for the stars, world-class" and so on. Too humble. Now come on, folks...

@George
I completely agree with you George. What is stated in the post is not a review but the Label release notes.

I added a independent review that only confirms what was said in the release notes but not with all that adjectives.

Myself, I don't care much about what the reviewers say. In many cases they are paid to do it and they only write good things about it. Same to the release notes. Nothing like we do our own review. And, in my opinion this is one of the best Rory tributes I have listen.

And I agree with you too, Bluestender. The most reliable reviewer is our own ears. And, as regards this certain album, the musicians are fine indeed. Mind you, I'm not implying that something is wrong with the Collective's reviews. I'm just hinting at what we might call a slight exaggeration on the part of the release notes' writer. And, once again, cheers for Azzul's Collective!
