Alter Bridge frontman, Slash… And The Conspirators singer and serial collaborator Myles Kennedy is clearly not a man who enjoys empty spaces in his diary. But for all he’s created with other people, this third solo album shows just how special his work is when he’s given completely free rein to do whatever the hell he wants.
Kennedy has a fundamental understanding of what goes into creating a great rock song, and all the elements are present and correct on The Art Of Letting Go: the full-fat riffs, absolutely colossal choruses and that flawless voice all take centre stage. Yet it’s one of the quieter, more considered moments on the record that packs an emotional punch and leaves the listener reeling.
