O’s Notes: Batio is a rock guitarist of the highest order. He gives us his take on eight classic rock tunes. There is Deep Purple’s “Burn”, “Zeppelin Forever” and Aerosmith’s “Dream On”, all songs from my high school years. Batio even includes a couple of his own songs, notably “Hands Without Shadows”. It’s great rock but not jazzy enough to keep our attention.
