Erotic Cakes

　Govan’s debut solo album, Erotic Cakes, was released through Cornford Records in August 2006. In the album's sleeve notes, Govan states the album is named after an episode of The Simpsons; he also explains that when playing live, the band is billed as ‘Erotic Cakes’ rather than simply Guthrie Govan.　Several of the tracks on the album existed in various incarnations previously. Notably, versions of ‘Waves’ and ‘Rhode Island Shred’ appeared on the compilation Guitar on the Edge, Vol 1. no.4 (Legato Records, 1993); his inclusion on the compilation was organised by Mike Varney's brother, Mark[7]. Furthermore a version of his ‘Guitarist of the Year’ winning piece, ‘Wonderful Slippery Thing’ appears on the album. While this is his first album, Govan had been collaborating with drummer Pete Riley on the music since the mid-1990s

Govan从牛津文学系辍学，到在麦当劳打了1年半杂工，再到给吉他杂志打工扒谱，到当选英国杂志年度吉他手，终于在06年初的发了此专辑。我们这一辈人应该感恩我Govan早年坚定地选择了音乐，感恩他才46，还有至少15年可以继续到处搞live和clinic，感恩他不光是个完美的吉他手还是个谦逊幽默的绅士。

有天赋再加上自律型人格… 平庸的人和这种人是永远无法比的，无论你多么努力拼命…………
