Joe Satriani - Not Of This Earth

Not Of This Earth was Joe Satriani’s debut album, and it’s an eclectic collection of tracks. With only about $5K to make the recording, Satch used simple drum and percussion arrangements and played both bass and guitar on the tracks. It’s a refreshing and versatile first album from one of the greatest electric guitar virtuosos. Satriani’s music defies categorization—he effortlessly blends rock, metal, funk, fusion, prog rock, and blues, never dropping a note. With this debut, Satch proves that there’s nothing he can’t do. His remarkable career essentially begins here, and it’s well worth a listen.
