Renegade Creation is a collaboration between renowned guitarists Robben
Ford and Michael Landau, drummer Gary Novak and bassist Jimmy Haslip. Renegade Creation brings to mind the essence of classic Blues Rock crossed with the adventurous sophistication of fusion, yet the music leaves room for each player's phenomenal abilities to shine. Although, brimming with fantastic solos, this record is more than a mere vehicle for fantastic soloing, as the compositions are important, well arranged pieces of music that exhibit a synergy rarely heard in today's music. It is apparent that with eight vocal tunes, four sung by Ford and four sung by Landau, and two scorching instrumental tracks, once this CD enters their fan's CD players it won't be coming out for a long time.
