Legends are always relevant. Anthony J. Resta is one of them. An award-winning composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, the talented American started as a pivotal figure in the Laurel Canyon folk scene, then shifted into a behind-the-scenes role in the mainstream music industry, an adventure that took him close to stars such as Duran Duran, Blondie, and Elton John, among others. Add to that a healthy curriculum in A-list soundtracks and a plethora of awards, and you’ve got quite a clear picture of the talent and experience behind Resta’s artistry.
Surprisingly, he’s not done yet, embracing contemporary culture with an impressively creative flair. ‘The Guitar Man’ is the perfect evidence of that, a deep dive into luscious psych-pop territories with a heightened nostalgic and timeless allure. Alongside Resta’s hypnotic, dreamy vocals, we find renowned guitarist Tim Pierce’s powerful riff and intricate solos, working perfectly alongside Milana Resta’s violin overdubs.
Alongside the track, ‘The Guitar Man’ has been released into the world with a mesmerising, hazy music video directed by filmmaker Joe Rubinstein. A perfect companion for such an intriguing record, the visuals depict Anthony J. Resta in a cosmic-flavoured live performance; such striking imagery helps listeners identify with the song’s anthemic nature, all facilitated by Resta’s tender, purposeful vocal tone.
