Album Notes

Combining the sensibilities of classical technique, the ingenuity of modern composition, and the artistry of contemporary performance, guitarist Eric Wilson presents a matchless union of vivid and lyrical music that engages the listener and captivates the ear. Resonant is the melodious verve of Andrew York, the harmonic intricacy of Pierre Bensusan, and the rhythmic intensity of Don Ross. As evident is the influence, ever singular is the style and craft to which Eric illuminates in composition and performance.

“Honest Shot” is Eric Wilson’s debut fingerstyle release. An exposition of Eric’s experience in life, family, love, and sorrow, the album is a finely crafted collection of powerful and trenchant rants, poetically scripted ballads, and dolorous laments. Melodically driven and rich with intent, the bestowal of each composition defies the absence of spoken verse.
