The CD has 17 songs, and each one is brilliant. An over-the-top instrumental outing for Sansietch, the legendary guitarist from New Mexico. On his last release, Fields Of Glory, he fed us a healthy diet of acoustic music steeped in rock, country, blues and jazz. On Off The Cuff, the artist has once again done everything. He writes the material, arranges it, performs and records it, and produces the entire work by himself. But the labels stop there. His lead work is recognizable signature, and once you hear is, you’ll know it’s him everytime.
With an extensive online precense, the best thing about Sansietch is he has a new website, loaded with tidbits for fans, and devoted to hard rock enthusiasts. You can sample most of the new songs.
This is one of the best things about independent artists. You can sample and download loads of info. There’s even a Street Team program at http://www.freewebs.com/
The latest CD is again issued by Sansietch’s own record label, Blues Farm. http://www.bluesfarm.webs.com. The album is available, July 28, 2007

Sansietch fans will rejoice once again to hear the artist lashing out on Playing My Hand, and the amazing wallowing on the bluesy Shape Of Sorrow. Since Sansietch, a name derived from both the French language, and a Science Fiction language, mean without a place of refuge in times of trouble, it does make one wonder if this outlaw musician has finally found his niche in rock n roll forever.
