MIKE ONESKO’s GUITAR ARMY – The Last Solo (2021)
Singer/guitar slinger Mike Onesko is very well respected musician into the American rock scene, and insiders will know him as part of the Blindside Blues Band, but might also know his project MIKE ONESKO’s GUITAR ARMY. Onesko is an established name for many years now and he has got some more aces up his sleeve like an album with former Accept vocalist David Reece with whom he has been trading song ideas for the near future.
This new record under the banner of Mike Onesko’s Guitar Army is the third in total but as the album title ”The Last Solo” suggests this closes of that chapter for Mike Onesko.
The sauce on this album is being provided by an army of guest guitarists and there are plenty of them. Even legend Mike Varney (the man who signed Blindside Blues Band in 1993 for his Blues Bureau International label) contributes some solo work as does mister Danish dynamite Martin J. Andersen on the track ‘Iron Subway’ with his blistering playing.
Craig Erickson (Glenn Hughes Band) is also present on this CD (‘Loving Her’). The rest of the army consists of guitar shredders that Mike is friends with and it seems that most of them are from the environment of Cleveland…
