Greg Wietzel has been busy throughout his career, opening for countless acts in country music and blues. His varied influences are evident in his latest release, "LEARN TO SAIL" (Arsfilia Records). The opening cut is the title cut and begins with a relaxing extended instrumental before progressing into the first of this 12-cut gem. Wietzel owns and operates Arsfilia Records, and is constantly busy helping singer/songwriters get their sounds recorded. Greg pens seven of the cuts and co-writes another two. From swing, to a big band sound, to country, to something more folky, there's something for everyone on this disc. Wietzel also offers "OLD HOTEL," his 1980 vinyl release which was reissued on CD in 2000. It's a little more "rootsy" than the latest release, and contains several cuts by Wietzel's friends, but dons an excellent use of harmony and horns. My favorite cut overall has to be "Sail On A Wind," an upbeat cutter reminiscent of Tim Weisberg from the old Fogelberg/Weisberg days. Two great releases from a true Texas workhorse, get them both, only $13.99 each!
