• REVIEW FROM GUITAR NINE!!
  
  Uncovering Guitar Potential
  
  Schugar/Schenker
  
  Constructing New Hard Rock
  
  Under Construction is the 2003 CD release/collaboration between Arizona guitarists Amy Schugar and Michael Schenker, and it features eight tracks in the rock and hard rock vein, with lyrics and vocal melodies by Schugar and music by Schenker. Tracks such as "Love & Danger" and "Surrender" are groove-driven and radio-ready, the latter featuring lead guitar by Schugar. Guitarist Fred Robinson contributes a lead guitar track to "All I Got", which also features a second solo by Schugar. You'll also hear many classic 'Schenkerisms' throughout the CD, kind of a cross between his work on "The Odd Trio" and some of the more recent MSG CDs. Schugar's vocals are a great fit for the material - dark-hued, emotionally charged and expressive. A compelling pairing that should yield some powerhouse results if allowed to develop even further.
