Neal Schon
I On U
The Story
With over three decades of making music, Neal Schon continues to inspire all with his sixth solo outing, a dazzling collection of guitar instrumentals entitled "I On U". As the lead guitarist and songwriter for the multi-platinum band Journey, not to mention his work with guitar legend Santana and composer Jan Hammer, Schon has lived the life of several rock gods. Still, he continues to reinvent himself, taking his own musical vision to new heights. Playing with modern sounds and flavors, yet always staying true to his signature guitar sound, "I On U" pulls it all together. Says Schon, "This is the first album that encompasses everything and makes it brand new." Each listener will experience it differently. From the majestic opening of "Blue Passion," and the soaring melodies of the title track, the songs suggest wide open spaces, an overview of what's to come, with tracks like the driving, passionate "Burning Bridges." Then it's on to the far off reaches of the imagination, with the arpeggiated rhythms of "Timeless Motion," the spicy funk of "Loner's Dream," and the eastern flair of "It Will Happen." Nothing to do but sit back and see where it all takes you.
