Behind The Mask

Released in 2008, this album goes way beyond just a guitar album. Oh don't worry, there is enough tasty guitar riffs and searing solos to satisfy the most discriminating six string aficionado, but the amazing soulful vocals and twisting grooving bass playing of Matt Waddill along with the sometimes frenetic but always in the pocket drumming of Kent Burnham make this a complete music lovers "top pick".
Imagine a dash of Hendrix, a scoop of funk, lots of jam, and a big dose of rock and roll. This should satisfy anyone looking for amazing guitar, soulful vocals and great tunes.
This album also features some fantastic drumming by Jim Riley, the drummer for Rascal Flatts. Jim played with Jeff for several years before he started touring the world with the Flatts.
With 'Behind the Mask' the Jeff Scheetz band has captured what is so often missing in music these days. The raw power of the music. This is music that has the vibe of the great albums of the 70's, back when Hendrix and Zeppelin were pouring their hearts into it and playing for the sake of the music.
To solidify the attitude of "back when the music was real" the band tapped into Jeff's longtime friend, world famous fantasy artist Rodney Matthews to produce the original artwork for the cover. Rodney has been doing album covers for bands such as Nazareth, Thin Lizzy, Magnum, Asia, and tons more since the late 70s, and his work on "Behind the Mask" is as captivating as any.
features retro vibey songs and playing, anyone who digs Hendrix and great riffs and soulful vocals should check it out. It has been nominated for Rock album of the year in The Just Plain Folks music awards, the world's largest indie music awards, out of 42,000 CDs!!!
They went through many, many rounds of listening and narrowing down, to get to the final 10 nominees.
That means out of thousands and thousands of rock CDs... Behind the Mask was one of the 10 that stood out!
