Editorial Review:
Album Description: Bassist Victor Wooten makes his debut on Heads Up International with the worldwide release of "Palmystery" on April 1, 2008. In keeping with the ongoing philosophy of genre-bending eclecticism that has driven all of his solo work, "Palmystery" embraces a range of styles - jazz, funk, pop, soul, gospel, world music and more - and boasts a diverse guest list that includes Mike Stern, Richard Bona, Keb' Mo' and several others. The result is an amalgam of voices, styles and grooves, but one that never fails to hold together at its rock-solid core - in much the same way that Wooten's legions of devoted fans hail from all walks of life and all corners of the globe, yet share a common affinity for artistic diversity.
"Palmystery"'s April 1 release date is simultaneous with the release of "The Music Lesson," Wooten's new novel published by Berkley Trade Paperback (The Penguin Group USA). "The Music Lesson" is the story of a struggling young musician who is unexpectedly visited by a mysterious, seemingly mystic music teacher who guides him through a spiritual journey of higher education in both music and life.
The themes of spirituality and mysticism at the core of "The Music Lesson" dovetail perfectly with those of "Palmystery." A few of the twelve tracks on the album were written over the past couple years, and have since been road tested in Wooten's live shows. Others were written only recently. Whatever the time frame, Wooten maintains a great respect for the mystery of the creative process - something that is very real, yet can never be completely explained.

This album is great. Victor grooves it up in this album showing that he can out play anyone. Yep he's a freak on the bass. Also some great drumming on this album.

I bought this album with hi hopes from good reviews. Imagine my misery upon realising Victor merely succeeds in representing everything I hate about music.

I think this is Victor's most cohesive work to date in terms of putting forth an 'album' that caters to a wide range of musical tastes. I rate all his work 5 stars because it is what it is...fantastic bass playing. However, I think this particular album takes the whole musicality thing to a new level for him in terms of bridging the gap between a good 'song' and staggering bass playing. Eitherway, if you like Victor then you will be sure to like this one!!!

Victor Wooten continues to amaze and his latest album is inspiring. If you want to hear what limits someone can push a bass guitar too and listen to a motivation if not spiritual message purchase this album.
Also if you get to see the Victor Wooten Band on tour this year you will not be disappointed.

This was the first time I had ever heard Victor Wooten and now I am a fan. His music is incredible; smooth and silky. My favorite track on this CD though is "I Saw God Today". Listen to the words and smile. A beautiful, beautiful song.
