With his well-loved ’53 Les Paul Goldtop slung over his shoulder and apair of designer shades resting in place, Lenny Kravitz is the epitome of cool. Of course, having acache of iconic songs at his disposal doesn’t hurt his reputation, either. You’ve heard them before –cuts like Are You Gonna Go My Way, Fly Away, It Ain’t Over ’Til It’s Over and Again are just afew hits that have seen Kravitz become an icon of guitar and akey member of the cultural zeitgeist. But what truly sets him apart, as he prepares to unleash his 12th studio record, Blue Electric Light, is his open ‐mindedness. “I hope I’m remembered as someone who served the music. And also, for not having boundaries,” he tells Guitarist.
“Whatever style, or whatever works for the song, you know, for the landscape of the song, I’m just open. Aguitar is aboundless instrument; to shackle yourself would be adisservice,” he continues.
