TY
TABOR
"Ty
Tabor could be the baddest guitar player you've never
heard" - Guitar Player Magazine
Ty
Tabor, for lack of a better term, is simply a legend
in the guitar world. With his band, KING'S X, he and
his band mates have received just about every accolade
possible from the musician/artist community including
coveted opening tour slots with AC/DC, at the peak
of their career, PEARL JAM, at the peak of their career,
WOODSTOCK II, at the request of the events coordinators,
as well as Ty's collaborations with Stanley Clark,
Billy Sheehan, Tony Franklin, Munetaka Higuchi, Rod
Morgenstein (Dixie Dregs), Greg Bissonette, Carmine
Appice, John Myung (Dream Theatre), Derek Sherinian
(Planet X) and others. Ty Tabor is also one of the
rare artists to have, not one, but two signature guitars,
which he designed, through YAMAHA Guitars. However,
regardless of Ty's & King's X' history or popularity
among their peers, one indisputable fact remains;
Ty is an astounding artist, whose talents reach far
beyond his ability to play guitar. With "Safety",
his sophomore solo outing for Metal Blade Records,
Ty has crafted a simply honest, revealing album, replete
with the sparkling acoustic guitars, thick grooves
and the vocal melodies for miles, that Ty is known
for. The intense personal nature of "Safety"
is what sets this album apart from most of Ty's previous
work. There is a lot of struggle and hope represented
here, and the endeavor to make sense of life's complexities
is the thread that runs throughout "Safety".
Unlike most titles released through Metal Blade Records,
Ty's accomplishments as a musician and his proficiency
at creating melodic pop leaning songs insure that
"Safety" will appeal to broad fan base well
beyond the "Metal" audience.
