Mike Campese's Total Freedom CD features a number of his solo pieces put together to create a story and to express his versatility as a guitarist and writer. The album establishes many moods, with some pieces recorded with only one or two tracks. Campese handles all the instrumentation, while the music covers a significant dynamic range, from introspective ("Amberay", "Last Train Out", "Heaven") to high-tech guitarmanship ("Freedom", "Indian War"). With Total Freedom, Campese delivers another round of highly accomplished fretwork and stylistic variety.
