Album Notes

Playing with a sound reminiscent of Steve Morse and Larry Carlton, guitarist Mike Ohm manages to capture the feel of an entire band in the two- or three-track instrumentals on One Thing After Another. The opening number, Fatty Acids, presents three tracks of Mike Ohm's guitar playing, on a tune with melodies that stick in your head and a groove that had me envisioning hip-hop lyrics over the top.

What follows is an eclectic collection of Mike Ohm originals and covers of an Andres Segovia Impromptu and an Eric Johnson song called Song For George. Keep Smilin' gives us an Ohm version of Rhythm Changes, complete with riff and swing bass (on guitar, of course). F-Bomb stays in the swing pocket, with a bit more twang, while Been Tryin' has a Latin feel interspersed with funk riffs and jazz harmonies.

Omega Man could be a jazz-rock fusion classic in the Jeff Beck style, with spacious moments and complex guitar riffs contrasting and supporting one another. More swing, funk, and rock flavorings follow, until the classical Impromptu seasons this jazz guitar stew with one more spice, followed by finger-picking ala John Fahey on Eric Johnson's Song For George.

Originally conceived as compositions for a larger group, Mike's decision to present these tunes in a two- (or three-) guitar format is our pleasure, for we get to hear Mike Ohm up close and personal.

"Amoebas at the start

Were not complex

They tore themselves apart

And started sex."
