Tell me more: Crank it up! Spain's Colman Gota's aptly-titled fifth album Don't Stop Playing Guitar is a mostly rocking set of 17 tracks that find the talented singer-guitarist conjuring up classic rock stylings of pioneering greats ranging from Tom Petty and the Knack to Matthew Sweet and Weezer.

The sizzling opener "Big In Taiwan," propulsive power pop gem "Always Late," introspective folk rocker "Glad That You Are Alive," fiery "Enemy," reflective "Check On Someone Else" and "Waning Light" explode with a single listen. A more nuanced listen awaits via the mid tempo "Crack The Code," shimmering title track, sumptuous "Higher Calling" and Americana sortie "If I Only Could."

The disc closes with the otherworldly "Like You Always Have," a glistening track showcasing the artist's songwriting as well as his nuanced talents on guitar and wonderful lead vocals. Don't Stop Playing Guitar is one of the most exciting releases of 2024.
