Phenomenal ninth solo disc by this way-kool blues/rock strat-master from Arkansas featuring 13 tracks (59 mins.) of awesome, world-class, high-octane, soul-powered, dynamic, blues-based, guitar driven power trio rock that will make you a firm believer that Real music still exists in a world of musical mediocrity. Tony Spinner is an amazing, gifted guitarist who knows what time of day it is when it comes down to the riffage that matters. A true modern day guitar hero who is doing an awesome job at Keeping the Rock alive on his impressive new Grooveyard Records disc, Spinner's 5th killer effort for the label.

    "Earth Music For Aliens" is a timeless, classic guitar rocker, an outstanding, high-quality, retro-sonic slice of blues/rock mojo full of depth, soul and blues power. Complete with a strong emphasis on Real songs and musical talent that include first-rate guitar playing, excellent soulful vox and a superb tight rhythm section who nails the groove down to solid ground. There is something here for everyone (including Aliens!!!) who digs top-shelf blues/rock heavy guitar music..   ~ truthinshredding.com

    Tony Spinner says it best on his web site – "Earth Music For Aliens is for those of you that feel like you are one of the few who care for real music played by real musicians. An outcast or Alien. This band don’t dance or lip sync. In this band the music comes first above all the nonsense involved in the music business....”

...Tony toured with Toto not only because of his serious pyrotechnic guitar skills but also because of his excellent vocal abilities, which are showcased throughout this album. Tony can efficiently throw the notes off the fretboard as quickly as anyone can; and it does not sound like a finger exercise. Every one of them is well chosen and fits his clean, clear, piercing tone. Highlights on this one include the energetic testament to love on the track "Best Friend,” the funky jams of the relationship ending "Let Her Go,” the humorous "Hot Mess,” and soulful distorted "Low Down Dirty Shame.” There is also the rockin’ blues of "Stop” and straight ahead rock of "Got What I Wanted” and "Dust and Ash.” "The Answer” is a groovy jam featured on the BRR4 sampler that has an interesting dual guitar attack between the rhythm and the lead guitar when Tony finally lets fly with a superb solo...

...There is an underlying feeling when you listen to him that Tony is just up there to have fun. That he truly enjoys just digging deep for the listener when he’s playing and that passion and fun loving attitude to his music comes across loud and clear. If you are reading this then you most likely share that passion for good music and qualify under Tony’s definition of "Alien” in which case this is one definitely worth picking up. ~ bluesrockreview.com
