Sugar Hill records will release Chris Thile’s lastest solo offering "Deceiver" on October 12, 2004. According to the press release for this newest release, Thile continues to work without boundries revealing the breadth of his talents by exploring more than 25 instruments including his signature mandolin, plus electric guitars, violin, viola, cello, varying bass instruments, drums, piano, Wurlitzer, B-3, bouzouki and more. His fifth solo release is exactly that with Thile being the solo musician, vocalist, song writer and co-producer with engineer Gary Paczosa.. The offering is said to be a blend of rock with shades of old-school jazz, classical, violins and modern pop sensibilities. Unlike his previous solo work, this lastest CD contains only two mandolin instrumentals with the remainder of the cuts containing vocals. Personally, I have pre-ordered this release because I am in awe of this young musician's talent and his drive to push past all limits to explore everything that he's capable of being.
