Paul Gilbert Marks the Release of “WROC” with a Single and Video for “Keep Your Feet Firm And Even”
Paul Gilbert, the indestructible guitar wizard, chameleon and virtuoso without equal, dropped his new studio album “WROC” on February 27 via Music Theories Recordings.
To mark the release, Gilbert has put out one more single (and video), this time picking the opening track, Keep Your Feet Firm And Even. Check out the video below.
Below you’ll also find the other singles that came out during the album’s promo run: Conscience Is The Most Certain Judge, Go Not Thither, If You Soak Bread In The Sauce and Show Not Yourself Glad (At The Misfortune Of Another).
Joining Paul in the studio for this single were:
Doug Rappoport (guitar)
Timmer Blakely (bass)
Nick D’Virgilio (drums)
“WROC” is short for “Washington’s Rules Of Civility” (the Slovenian translation would go something like (?): “Washingtonska pravila vljudnosti”, author’s note), and, believe it or not, it might be the guitar superstar’s most unusual work yet. Gilbert took George Washington’s famous code as the conceptual thread of the album, daring to think outside the box. His main source of inspiration was a late 16th-century book of good manners.
WROC is a vocal album, the first Gilbert has released since 2016’s “I Can Destroy”. This time there’s less supersonic tremolo drilling and less of the slide work he used to coax Ronnie James Dio’s voice out of the guitar, but it’s definitely an album on which Gilbert keeps pushing his unstoppable, one-of-a-kind musical adventurism further.
