AN INTERVIEW WITH
MARK CLOUTIER

In our ongoing look back at the best CD releases of 2011, mwe3.com recommends Wings Of Fire from Upstate New York guitarist Mark Cloutier. Cloutier has released a number of independently pressed CD titles but Wings Of Fire is his first official best-of compilation. Blues and rock guitar instrumental fans are strongly advised to track down Cloutier’s Wings Of Fire. mwe3.com founder Robert Silverstein wrote liner notes and overall, the CD is a perfect introduction to Cloutier’s skillful mix of instrumental blues and rock. Whether your passion is the deep down blues of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan or the modern, bluesy, fusion guitar of Robin Trower and Jeff Beck, there’s plenty of solid instrumental groove on Wings Of Fire to keep guitar fans coming back for more.

A great endorsement By Robert Silverstein regarding my WOF Cd and its Sammy Nomination!

"I am the owner and founder of MWE3.com which is a music reviews and interviews web site down state in NYC. Earlier in 2011, I worked with Mark Cloutier on his compilation CD - Wings Of Fire. It was great to work with Mark on this amazing CD album collection. I assisted Mark in some of the A&R ideas regarding what tracks to include and I wrote the brief but heartfelt liner notes which appear on the back of the CD. In my opinion, Mark Cloutier is a fantastic guitarist, composer and music producer. Mark and I worked diligently in getting the sound of the Wings Of Fire CD right as there were multiple sources for the music and we also worked together on perfecting the CD mastering which I believe turned out great. I am very happy with the sound and you can read more about the album on mwe3.com Mark is a great asset to New York's music and guitar community and I think he's also a great symbol of the excellent music coming from Syracuse and the entire upstate New York region. He's also a great guy! Let me know if you'd like to speak further with me about the work Mark and I did together on Wings Of Fire and also if you would like any more information on the mwe3.com web site. I am open to an article discussing Mark's music and also discussing the mwe3.com web site".

Thank you and keep rocking!
