Hackett. Steve - At the Edge of Light (2019)

The 26th album from this artist from Great Britain.

Steve Hackett did the guitars, charango, sitar, oud and some vocals.

He was helped by some guests who added percussion, drums, bass, didgeridoo, violin, viola, keyboards, duduk, programming, sax, flute, clarinet, sitar and vocals. 

The inclusion of oud and sitar tells us that Steve has visited India and the Middle East this time. He has often done that on his latest albums. Either those areas or the Mediterranean Sea. 

These influences has added a lot of spices to this fifty minutes long album.

We still get a lot of his guitars here. He is one of the better guitarists on today's planet. Mostly because he knows his instrument's limits and how to apply it in a song or piece of music. 

There is plenty of his superb guitars and vocals here.

The songs and other pieces of music is also good. Even the choirs and the more neo-classical pieces.

This is indeed a good album and one to check out.
