Andy lattimer

How come Andy Lattimer is almost never mentioned when great guitar players/musicians are being mentioned in those (to IMO stupid and useless, but nevertheless quite entertaining) polls and lists? I think he's incredible, as well as far as musicianship, emotion, sound and song writing is concerned. My hairs stand on end and my lacrimal glands almost start secretion each time I hear one of his particular good solos, live or on album. Just listen to 'Stationary Traveller'! It's f***ing awesome!!

Because Latimer's guitar sound is ordinary, although he is very melodic and moving!

Actually, he sounds just a bit better than the dullish Daryl Stuermer!

Then I suggest you lend ears to what he's contributed with to the Colin Bass' solo projects... specially "An outcast of the Islands". You will certainly rewrite the story you have set upon Latimer's work... outstanding once again.

 

Latimer's never been a showman, or one to actively seek recognition. He does what he does with great emotion and talent, but he seems find adequate reward in the appreciation of Camel's fans. Others could benefit from his fine example!

 

Yes, I can confidently state that Andy latimer is a very fine and accurate player of the guitar.I once studied at the Walter Mitty School For The Performing Arts so i know what I'm talking about.
