How often have you been able to sit and listen to a series of instrumental rock tracks, especially guitar rock instrumentals, without feeling that the guitar was the only focus? Matthews has managed to rid his music of the cliches of this genre, and in the end, he has created tracks that stand alone as pieces of art. "Heidelberg" is certainly no exception...I don't expect you to take my word for it. J.C. Mattthews' music is a journey you should have to take to really understand. If you visit one artist's page today, make it this one. You surely won't miss the others.

Melodic rock guitar at its best
author: Alex Kriukov
Heidleberg is a great instrumental guitar CD from JC Mathews. JC combines elements of rock, blues, Latin and classical music to create a piece of work that is inventive and highly enjoyable. From the Santana influenced Ltin rock playing of Los Alamos, to the searing and expressive lead guitar work of Heidelberg and Automation to the great hard rock playing of Highway Dance, this album takes you on a musical exciting musical journey. JC is a fantastic technical player, but it is his expressiveness and great sense of melody that really shines through on each of the tracks. Highly recommended.

Melodic Rock with the emphasis on melody
author: Ed Drury
JC Mathews is one guitar instrumentalist who truely understands theme and content in composition. All tracks on this CD have compelling melodies which travel, never ramble and hook rather than lull you.
Classic rock with a world full of influences and textures. JC proves himself not only a great guitarist but a gifted composer on this one.
