(U-WIRE) PITTSBURGH -- It's alright that you probably don't know who Ty Tabor is.
The outstanding guitarist may have a long list of reasons that might make that hard to believe -- namely jaw-dropping albums -- but to say he isn't well known might be the understatement of this young century.
After all, how could you have come to know him? All he does is headline for two bands equally obscure to those who have yet to hear from the master of melody. His guitar playing, singing and songwriting have made his primary band, King's X, one of the most widely respected yet widely unheard-of bands on the music scene. He has done the same with the awe-inspiring Jelly Jam, which has put out two albums every bit as powerful as they are creative.
No matter how many magnificent albums in which he takes part, however, Tabor's loyal following resides in a group of fans much smaller than it ought to be. That, however, is part of the appeal of his beautiful music, and none of his three solo albums put his craft and charm on display as well as "Rock Garden."
Tabor mixes his powerful guitar riffs with catchy melodies perfectly, one of the big reasons that King's X has put out 13 rock-solid albums. Riding the raging success of "Ogre Tones," the group's November 2005 release, Tabor took to the studio to record "Rock Garden" with the mind-set of taking the album in a different direction than his last solo work, "Safety" (2002).
Tabor tells his Pittsburgh-based record company, Inside Out Music, just why he made the change to a more upbeat, optimistic rock sound for this album.
"Safety grew out of the worries and anguish that I lived through at the time," he said on the company's Web site. "With 'Rock Garden,' I survived this phase and now I'm ready to rock again."
And boy, is he ever.
Tabor put together nearly the entire album by himself, a testament to his musical genius, which makes this a perfect album for new listeners.
The lead track, "Ride," is a fine example of Tabor's style of music. His riff mixes smoothly with his vocals for a perfect introduction to all that is Ty Tabor. In the chorus, he sings, "Well I think there were two beside me/ I don't know and a lot behind me/ Because I went over your head to get my life/ Because I had to push you off just to get by/ It was nice to know you, I really didn't mean to throw you." He holds a catchy guitar melody throughout the song as the overlaying background vocals, complete the sound and make for one catchy opening track.
Standout tracks like "Afraid" and "Pretty Good" also do an excellent job of magnifying his obvious talent.
"Afraid" opens with a slow-developing lead guitar riff that will grab any listener's attention. The song progresses, mixing solid drumming from Randy St. John -- another much-needed newcomer to Tabor's solo work -- with a stellar Tabor solo to make for one of the more memorable cuts on the album.
Well, it will stay memorable until "Pretty Good," which steals a lot of thunder from the album's other tracks. The last of the 11 tracks on this album, "Pretty Good" brings Doug Pinnick, the renowned bassist and lead vocalist for King's X, into the picture. They join together for the foreground vocals as Tabor goes to work on his guitar in the background.
The music comes to an end after less than four minutes, but the track rolls on for another two minutes. After being silent for a few seconds, you can hear a quieter recording of Tabor playing around with his guitar in his backyard as his dog roams around barking at him. Such a final sound is a perfect ending for "Rock Garden," a name that comes from a place near and dear to his heart.
"The album is named after my backyard," Tabor says of his Houston home. "A tropical little paradise where I -- as once was the case with George Harrison at his home -- have diligently planted and worked for many years. Here, I sometimes sit with friends and we just play guitar out in the open nature."
The 44-year-old Tabor has done just that, and done so diligently for his entire life. And, while his work has gone widely unknown, his musicianship seems to grow with each overlooked album. "Rock Garden" is no exception.
But again, most people wouldn't know that because most people don't know Ty.
