Post Description

Visionary is a 1976 studio album by guitarist Gordon Giltrap.

I first bought this album when it came out on record back in the late 70s and was absolutely mesmerised by his playing. Plus, all the tunes were so melodic yet haunting that I would listen to the album over and over again, soothing my teenage angst. 

Just listening to his playing brought back so many memories, and all the reasons why I love this album. Gordon's playing is just terrific.  I can feel all the emotions he put into his playing and music. Gordon took me on a journey of Blake and his world and visions, and I've never left. Stranded for a few years, perhaps, but never left. 

If you have to buy the one definitive guitar album, this has to be it. You'll never regret it.b


The music is inspired by the words of poet William Blake
