Bassist/guitarist/vocalist John Wright's resume is a reflection of the influences he cites. On his second solo album, Just Left of Center, Wright again incorporates those diverse elements, but this time into a much more condensed body. To his credit, this album flows extremely smoothly; folk-tinged songs lie comfortably aside fusion and proggish rockers. For instance, "Soft Tears" is a gentle folk number that Sandy Denny might have taken a fancy to. It is followed by "Addiction/The Story," which unleashes a tremulous Robert Fripp-like guitar introduction. "Like Father Like Son" also employs the manic guitar sound Fripp is known for, coupled with a vexing lyric reminiscent of Peter Hammill. "Forward Motion" recalls Dixie Dregs and Montrose fusion, while the album's one traditional piece, "The Humors of Whisky/Stack the Rags," is an obvious nod to Fairport Convention or perhaps the Stuart Martz Band for whom he's played more recently. Wright composed 11 of the 13 songs on this album, and while many influences appear evident, Just Left of Center displays originality, distinction and adept playing at every turn.
