There is something about the guitar of Neil Tatar that soothes the soul and calms the furrowed brow, the tones harmonics and chords always seem to lighten my day, and the good news is I am listening right now to his latest single entitled Bella, and if ever an acoustic guitar lead the way to the cathartic hills of peace and serenity, this one certainly does.

The tale of the song is fascinating and quite amazing, and relates in part to the Second World War, now you really are going to have to buy this song to find our more aren’t you? This moving piece flows with the effortless transition of time and tide, but here Tatar manifests something timeless and a story that will never cease.

The guitar of the master instrumentalist is so soft and fluent; but we can then match up that with the added artistry of one Premik Russell Tubbs on Soprano Sax, a name that has tuned up many times in my reviews, and another in Tom Eaton who features on this piece on bass, and the band is then made whole with the percussion of the genius that is Jeff Haynes.

I guess I must admit to being biased, but I have always adored the music of Neil, and still have fond memories of his 2015 release Learning To Fly, however here on this new single the artist offers us something reflective, new and poignant, and done so in such a beautifully talented way. Bella by Neil Tatar is a stand out new offering from the composer, and surely big things must be on the horizon for the composition and the creator.
