Paul Gilbert, who has been active as a super guitarist in bands like Mr.

Big and Racer X and continues to energetically release work as a solo artist, is also a great Japanophile and enjoys immense popularity in Japan.

His 2023 solo album, “The Dio Album,” as the title suggests, is a covers album of songs left by the legendary singer Ronnie James Dio.

Rather than featuring guest vocalists, Paul drew attention by pulling off the daring feat of recreating not only the riffs and solos but even the vocal melodies with his guitar.

The track featured here, “Holy Diver,” is a cover of the classic released by the heavy metal band DIO, and it brilliantly reproduces Ronnie’s magnificent vocals on guitar.
