Guests: Ray Luzier, Midi Drums

Darren Housholder is an excellent guitarist and a graduate of Berklee School of Music. He also was a faculty member of Berklee teaching Modern Rock Guitar. He clearly knows his jazz licks but these albums definitely rock. Housholder covers the gamut of techniques and styles. Guitar magazine called Darren a "thoroughly modern player with sass, sparks and control."

Generator Man has several good songs, but sometimes suffers from the home studio sound and the use of drum machines. A good mix of heavier songs and feel-good boogies.

Craig Goldy's Ritual - Hidden In Plain Sight (1991)

Craig Goldy (born on November 6, 1961) was the last guitarist in the band Dio.

Before Dio, he played in the bands Vengeance, Rough Cutt, and Giuffria. He replaced Jake E. Lee in Rough Cutt and was himself replaced by Amir Derakh in this group. Prior to joining Rough Cutt, he had played in the band Vengeance. Reportedly, Rough Cutt recorded some demos with Craig Goldy, but he left the band before they got a record deal and recorded their first album. Ronnie James Dio had produced at least two Rough Cutt songs when Jake was still in the band ("A Little Kindness" and "Used And Abused"), and Ronnie and his wife Wendy both co-wrote some songs on the first Rough Cutt album, which was recorded after Craig Goldy left the band.

Shortly after leaving Rough Cutt, Goldy would join Giuffria, the eponymous band of former Angel keyboardist, Gregg Giuffria. Performing on Giuffria's self-titled debut album, released in 1984, Goldy is heard on the band's biggest hit, "Call to the Heart," which hit #15 on the Billboard charts in early 1985.
