Virtuoso guitarist and visionary composer Steve Vaiis
releasing his new album, The Story of Lighttoday,
August 14th. The album, released on Vai's own Favored Nations Entertainment,
contains 12 new songs, with guest appearances from Aimee Mann and The
Voice finalist Beverly McLellan. The album is being streamed this week
on AOL Music and MSN Music.
The Story of Light is a sprawling and expressive 12-song
set that continues a conceptual and cosmic narrative arc that began with
the artist's most recent studio release, 2005's acclaimed Real
Illusions: Reflections.
Although The Story of Light is
largely instrumental, the album does feature guest vocalists including
singer-songwriter Aimee Mann-dueting with Vai on "No More
Amsterdam," which she also co-wrote. Other highlights include the
title track (which opens the album), "Gravity Storm," "The Moon
and I," and "Velorum."
