Michael Perlowin breaks new ground with innovative and enjoyable music performed primarily and surprisingly on the pedal steel guitar. As with his forays into the world of Debussy, Stravinsky and Broadway with his Firebird Suite and West Side Story albums, Michael Perlowin again shattered the stereotype of the pedal steel guitar, like a country-and-western-only instrument. In his new album, Spanish Steel, with 20 tracks from or about Spain, with works by Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albeniz, Joaquin Rodrigo, Julio Martinez Oyanguren, and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. This new album sees Perlowin continuing to alternate the use of the pedal steel as both tool and characterized as a whole. However, this CD features the guitar work more Perlowin their previous releases, as the guitar is an integral part of Spanish music. E 'fair to say that this is not so much a "pedal steel guitar album" as this is an album of music in which the steel is mainly known for its unique expressive sound. Perlowin, a veteran guitarist of folk and rock music scene around LA, fell in love with pedal steel guitar unexpectedly after you work in a country and western band in the mid 70s. His enthusiasm led to a love story of all consumers, intensely passionate obsession that continues today. Perlowin jokingly to himself as a junkie "steel" and adds that the complexity and mysteries of the instrument because most of the other feel the same way. As a guitarist working Perlowin had played almost every type of popular music, standards, folk, rock, country, blues, reggae and even disco. Playing pedal steel guitar, however, noted that Perlowin was unhappy when confined to country and western music. He started playing the steel with musicians from different genres, including a whole bunch of experimental instrumental music, blues and rock band (http://www. Youtube. Com / watch? V = WkSnoeTWR4I). Finally, it was the world of classical music, which has attracted the interest of Perlowin. A recording of "The Maid of Debussy with blond hair" by jazz guitarist Johnny Smith introduced him to music literacy. Perlowin explains: "When I heard this piece, I realized that this was what I wanted to play." Perlowin own recording of the piece, which clearly shows Smith's influence can be heard on his first classical pedal steel album Firebird Suite. "Everyone who plays classical music should be forced to listen to this record," said Mark Laycock, Music Director, Orchestra of London, The Princeton Chamber Symphony and guest conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra and Indianapolis Symphony. "Mike Perlowin is a musical genius that I am proud to know and learn, and I am honored to have as a friend. I love this instrument and the music and the beauty of these sounds delights my soul. " Perlowin was a bit 'exposed to classical music when I was young, and has no musical training or production. Perlowin's second album, West Side Story, does not show his growth as a player, since he had already mastered the instrument, but as a producer, arranger and sound engineer. However, with this third album that his mastery of the recording studio blossomed to match his talent as a virtuoso musician. Spanish Steel, Dave Beyer played drums and percussion, while Bill Watkins contributed timpani samples to complement Perlowin the pedal and lap steel guitar, acoustic and electric guitar, pierced and fretless bass, sitar, mandolin, Mandoloncello, 5 -string banjo, harp and percussion.
