GARY SCHUTT – Under Sedation (2015)

GARY SCHUTT - Under Sedation (The Recollection of Jared Nichols) (2015) full
HERE

Jeff Scott Soto’s guitarist GARY SCHUTT has been very busy lately, especially concentrated in his solo career / own band. Recently we enjoyed his E19 project with material akin ’80s melodic rock, but now Gary Schutt is releasing his more ambitious piece of work; “Under Sedation (The Recollection of Jared Nichols)” a 2CD set with a concept story.

According to Schutt, “Under Sedation (The Recollection of Jared Nichols)” has been in the making since 1992 with ideas coming in / out all over these years.
The concept album – divided in two acts / CDs – tells a story in the vein on Queensryche’s Operation:Mindcrime, but the musical surroundings are much more melodic rock / hard rock oriented.
At the same time, all these songs can be enjoyed separately, standing on their own as single songs ranging from furious hard rockers to elaborated melodic rock tunes, a bit of light progressive touches plus lots of sound effects and some ‘digital dialog’.

As usual with Gary Schutt’s works, all is really polished and well produced with attention to detail. He plays various instruments but his stable band also was part of the recordings, as well as a cast of pretty good vocalists.

There’s many singers involved on the album (listed by Gray’s himself using his own voice on a bonus track, some kind of ‘end credits’) all good delivering strong performances. One of the best is Todd Plant, who has been part of Gary’s live band in the past.

Gary Schutt has been releasing quality material for some time now. Add to the list this “Under Sedation (The Recollection of Jared Nichols)”, a strong double concept album carefully arranged and performed.
You need some talent to create such cohesive piece of work like this one, and undoubtedly Schutt skills are wider not only as a killer guitarist (there’s some mind-blowing solos here) but also as composer and producer.
Strongly Recommended.
