“When I first listened to Jeff, his music really surprised me. The first track I listened to was Part-Time Love, Full-Time Pain, and I was floored at his ability to mix blues guitar, jazz bass, furious techno-esk drums (a la David Bowie's Earthling), and a strong vocal ability that is reminiscent of Johnny Cash. His music is catchy, but more so than that, it is powerful, with the ability to keep the sound fresh from track to track without ever loosing sight of the true musical nature of his art.”
'MicControl' music review blog
**********************************************************
“My work has been described to me as an interesting mix of styles resembling that of artists like Ry Cooder, David Wilcox, Mark Knopfler, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Gordon Lightfoot, Jeff Beck and others. Well,...I'm truly humbled at the mere thought of any such remote comparisons to these musical giants. Personally I just think I sound like me,... whatever that is,... however, all those personalities have certainly influenced my playing and writing.”
(Jeff Wyatt – 2008)

In August 2008 a CD review for 'REFLECTIONS AT EVERY CORNER' was written & posted by veteran music reviewer Ron Bervoets at the Belgium site ROOTSTIME. (Ron also has the interesting job of doing interviews that are posted on the site. He has had the pleasure of interviewing blues legends that include Jim Suhler, Johnny Winter and John Mayall). ROOTSTIME is a non-profit internet magazine and internet radio station that promotes the music of known as well as unknown singers/songriters. If you can read Dutch, you can see the review by going to ROOTSTIME, and clicking on the CD REVIEWS link on the upper left of their homepage. JEFF WYATT is listed under the AUGUST 2008 link. If you are unable to read Dutch, below is an English translation:
**********************************************************
'Although "Reflections at Every Corner" is a cd with a diversity that might be considered detrimental, it is interesting. In as much as the style of Jeff Beck is difficult to put a label on…this album ranges from jazz rock tinted guitar numbers, pure blues rock over calm laid back ballads and country tinted songs, all the way to folk and world music. Moreover, Jeff did most everything himself with his own portable studio. A mishmash one might think, on the contrary, this album presents itself as a small story incorporating all these musical styles. The cd begins, for instance quite original. You hear Jeff seat himself, turn on a cheap transistor radio and pass the dial through all sorts of radio stations. Suddenly the sound quality improves, presenting Take it From Me, a Celtic seeming song with mandolin. Into this he also brings a country as well as a folky atmosphere, along with a voice that is reminiscent of Waylon Jennings. Seamlessly, this song blends into a long guitar number Kerala Sunset; a beautiful, dreamy instrumental which introduces itself with the sounds of ocean waves and seagulls. This atmosphere perfectly reproduces that of a sunset on an Indian beach, where you hear the clear influences of Jeff Beck; a man who Jeff Wyatt admits to be an admirer of. Jeff is mainly a guitarist, but he also plays bass guitar, piano and other instruments. In Part-time Love, Full-time Pain he plays a virtuoso bass which is a reminder of another one of his heroes, Jaco Pastorius, who passed away from us much too early. Saving Grace is an Indian style instrumental with tabla and acoustic guitar, bringing folk and world music together. The dark, distinct sounding song Albania is delivered with the vocal help of singer songwriter Camille Miller. This follows with the slow, classical sounding piano ballads If She Could Know and Thank You For Loving Me Again which features a beautiful intense guitar solo, with Jeff delivering all he has. Once again we change the pace with something very different; In Her Own Time, dedicated to a deceased friend, Kasandra. Beginning with a recording of loose shreds of a conversation with her, this song features searing slide guitar. The traditional Shenandoah is a beautiful distinct adaptation, following which we get Corae Corae near the cd’s end, sounding much like a blues rock version of the traditional folksong Corinna, Corinna. The eleven-minute title track is a kind of symphonic epic, which brings us to the album’s conclusion. This is indeed a mixed plate. But for the superior beautiful guitar contribution, alone, this cd is worth the purchase.'

Best Always Pete ;)
Hey Jeff, How are you doing my friend? I finally finished my new video & thought I would drop by with a link for you to take a look. Just gotta say though - I am soooo loving "Bodhi Surfing"... killer Mark Knopfler tone & stylisation, it don't get much better than that! I enjoyed your other two vids as well - I know you have the one here but I did not realise you had some more over at YouTube, will send you an invite next time I loggin there! Anyways buddy - I hope to chat soon. Pete ;)

Hi Jeff; I was happy to locate your myspace profile. The people of the world need to know that had you not taken me under your wing when I was a greenhorn on the guitar I would not have excelled at those areas that I'm known for on the electric guitar. People!!!!.....my main goal was to play as well as Jeff. I hope that I have made inroads in that area. When Jeff is "on" there is no one who can touch him. When Jeff is not "on" only Page, Beck, and Blackmore can claim to be ahead of Jeff...and even then it's only by a millimeter.
Hahahah... thanks Jeff!!! ;) I have started using widescreen format on the new video but needed a test run here at MySpace to see if it actually worked as widescreen or whether the footage just got reduced & e-long-gated... thankfully it worked okay! I hope you are doing well buddy, sorry I have not stopped by for a chat in a while - tons of family stuff going on this year... most of the year has been a blur! Pete :D
Thanx for the kind word's; I'm working on a few others also. I will check out your tune and comment. I'll dig it I always dig your tunes. Peace Br-Mark
