Paul Gilbert, the indestructible guitar wizard, chameleon and virtuoso without equal, dropped a new studio album, “WROC”, on February 27 via Music Theories Recordings.
Below you’ll find the new video for the single Let Thy Carriage, taken from the freshly released album.
Below you’ll also find the other singles that came out during the album’s promo run: Keep Your Feet Firm And Even, 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” stands for “Washington’s Rules Of Civility” (roughly (?) “Washington’s Rules of Politeness” in translation, ed.), and, believe it or not, it may be the most unusual record yet from the guitar superstar. Gilbert took George Washington’s famous code of conduct as the album’s conceptual thread and dared to think outside the box. His main source of inspiration? A late-16th-century guide to good manners.
WROC is a vocal album, the first Gilbert has put out since 2016’s “I Can Destroy”. This time there’s less supersonic tremolo drilling and less of the slide work he used to mimic Ronnie James Dio’s voice on guitar, but it’s definitely an album with which Gilbert keeps pushing his unstoppable, one-of-a-kind musical adventurism further.
You can already order the “WROC” album.
