This album contains two tributes to two other stellar guitarists. One of those is "Jiboom," which pays homage to
Stevie Ray Vaughan, while "Frank" remembers
Frank Zappa.
Vai saw his career begin as a teenage stunt guitarist for
Frank Zappa. Later,
Mike Keneally performed the same role in a band backing
Zappa. For this album,
Keneally toured in
Vai's band, but plays keyboards on the album. It is an amazing exhibition of six-string talent. ~ Tom Schulte
