MYLES KENNEDY – THE ART OF LETTING GO – ALBUM REVIEW
Across his various ongoing projects Myles Kennedy is nothing short of prolific with the frequency in which he lends his incredible voice to new albums. Full Pelt has only existed for four years and in this time he has already released albums with Slash, Alter Bridge and under his own name.
‘The Art of Letting Go’ marks his second solo release in this time and his third overall, and as with any release on which he features, it is his intense voice which is the greatest instrument!
His debut solo release, ‘Year of the Tiger’, found Kennedy showcasing a stripped back blues-tinged sound before 2021’s ‘The Ides of March’ brought a straighter rock sound to a world emerging from the pandemic.

On this new record, Kennedy rachets things up another notch or two with some heavier, bolder riffs making this by far the most Alter Bridge adjacent solo release thus far. A big positive of this is of course that you find Kennedy in familiar territory and therefore the release is an easy digest for his followers.
On the flip side, it has been nice to see the different sides of Kennedy and this release therefore can feel a little safe. Still, any gripes are soon blown away by the sonic onslaught that delivers as many big moments as any Kennedy featuring release to date.
You would imagine that after some nineteen studio albums for various projects, Kennedy would be struggling for ideas, but instead after three decades of songwriting Kennedy shows that he is still thriving.
Indeed, it’s undeniable that this is Kennedy at his very best and that is saying something because Kennedy has long established himself as one of the artists of his generation.
