For as long as he can remember, guitarist Michael Lee Hill has been hopelessly addicted to the guitar. Now at age 34, with more than 20 years of playing under his fingers, Michael Lee Hill emerges from obscurity in Ohio with the release of Frozen Thought, a 13-song concept album showcasing Michael’s guitar mastery and exposing deep-running spiritual & metaphysical interests as well.

Frozen Thought was written, recorded and realized by Michael himself, who created his own indie label Moment Point Records to release the CD this year. Counting Edward Van Halen, The Police, Steve Vai, and Prince as his most significant musical influences, Michael Lee Hill draws from these and other sources of inspiration while never sacrificing one ounce of his own identity; tracks like “Feeling September ” and “The Lifting ” capture a tenderness and musical sensitivity that runs throughout most of Frozen Thought, while “Testing 1, 2, 3 ” pulls out the stops and keeps on punching. Michael also gets to salute his hero Jimi Hendrix in “Jimi’s Communication,” a recorded improvisation with a groove that feels 5 feet thick. In an age when too many guitar records sound like everybody else’s, Frozen Thought is a refreshing and satisfying disc of mammoth proportions.

Frozen Thought is in select stores now, or order online!
