From the legendary guitarist of Fates Warning, Away With Words continues Jim Matheos’ journey into the realm of evocative, instrumental acoustic music.

The album features Mark Zonder (Fates Warning, A-Z, Warlord) on drums and percussion, adding depth and movement to Matheos’ melodic compositions. The result is a richly layered listening experiencethoughtful, technically skilled, and emotionally resonant.
