Guitarists Dave Specter and Steve Freund have been personal and musical friends for many years. Specter has always straddled the blues/jazz fence with a hip disregard for arbitrary restrictions, and on this CD, he once again puts his distinctive mark on a collection of outstanding instrumentals from all corners of blues and it's related genres. The result will please all lovers of lean, inspired guitar work. "Is What It Is" brings the two guitarists together for a smokin' blues date that has a perfect balance of Steve's heartfelt vocals on his new original songs and Dave's instrumentals, including "People Get Ready," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Albatross" and several Specter originals.
