Orianthi - Violet Journey

Orianthi is an amazing guitar player. She doesn't get as much attention as I think she deserves.

Here's what I said back in January:

Orianthi is an Australian guitar player, who probably had her first big break when she played on the 2nd stage at the 2007 edition of Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival, which was held in Illinois that year. The Wiki (take it with a grain of salt) says her break came when she appeared at the 2009 Grammy Awards show, as guitarist for Carrie Underwood. Though you could say that meeting Carlos Santana, and then he helped her to get signed with Geffen Records in 2006 was what really mattered.

This is "Violet Journey" by Orianthi. It is the title song on her 2006 album. The entire album seems to be missing from Spotify, though it is on YT, and apparently on Amazon.com, which may be the sticking point with Spotify. Quite a bit of her music is on Spotify.
