Dave B from instrumentalcase.com delivers an interview with new comer Charles Carey...where he makes all the right noises!

Charles says:
I really only listen to instrumental music so that is a big number but two albums that I have really enjoyed lately are Planet X “Live From Oz” and John Petrucci’s “Suspended Animation”. Of course CountItOff’s “Room 237” is pretty cool too. My all time favorite CDs would probably be Allan Holdsworth / Frank Gambale “Truth In Shredding” , Chick Corea “Light As A Feather”, the self titled Tribal Tech album, Pat Metheny’s “Still Life Talking” and “Letter From Home”, Steve Morse’s “Coast to Coast” and Mike Stern’s “Play”.


Also a new CD from the band Countitoff, Room 237
