Side A contains the track called &#8216;The Grass Is Greener&#8217;. This melodic musical composition sparkles with its amber rays of melismas and slow bends. Grace and elegance are combined in this track with high skill.&nbsp;<\/p><br><p>Side B of this release is the track &#8216;Shapeshifting&#8217; which has a more dynamic structure with complex rhythms and motifs in the style of classical and jazz. Rock parts are replaced by Irish jigs and stratospheric rapid ascending passages return again. In the climax, real driving rock n roll sounds, which goes into the final melodic part.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><span style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><br><\/span><p><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\">Listen to the single &#8216;The Grass Is Greener&#8217; below on Spotify and appreciate the skill and charisma of Joe Hodgson.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/joehodgsonmusic.com\/\">https:\/\/joehodgsonmusic.com\/<\/a>\n\n\n\n\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: The Grass Is Greener \/ Shapeshifting\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6g5rSAfbtOdjI469HXQg8B?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joe Hodgson is a talented guitarist and composer who expands the boundaries of the guitar with his creativity.
