This isn't the polite, string-laden Wes Montgomery of his later pop-crossover years; this is the raw, high-octane innovator of the early 1960s. The sound is thick and golden, the result of Montgomery eschewing a plectrum for the fleshy part of his thumb. This choice gives every note a rounded, percussive quality that feels more like a heartbeat than a wire being struck. It is music that demands attention through its sheer technical audacity while remaining deeply accessible through its blues-drenched DNA.
