Album Notes

"Brian Gore's strong, well developed melodies and intriguing chord sequences set him apart from the myriad of steel-string fingerstylists who compose in open tunings. His finely crafted poetic "songs without words" take the listener on a spellbinding, emotional ride. Gore has great facility as a player, but it's the depth and range of moods his pieces evoke, rather than his technical wizardry, that makes LEGACY such a pleasure."
-- Ron Forbes Roberts
Acoustic Guitar Magazine

Brian Gore has developed one of the most unique new acoustic guitar
styles on the scene today, and is the performer to watch in the future"
--Geoff Earl
News and Review

"...a solid player with a characterful bounce and spaciousness of his own"

Beautiful Music

Nice sense of melody, fingerpicking is excellent, a bit of Celtic influence. My wife and I are looking forward to seeing him on his "International Guitars" tour early in 2009...

Excellent progressive fingerstyle sampler

This is an excellent primer on the guitar mastery of Brian Gore. I'm hoping there is much more to come from this fresh talent. Not only are the tunes well performed (solo and especially the duets), the compositions are exceptional and show great depth and range. I've been working through his book/cd package and find his percussive style the most interesting I have explored recently.

A must have for anyone who loves guitar.
author: Jay Howlett -- KKUP Radio & Blah Blah Woof Woof Music and Media
                            
Brian Gore has built a name for himself through hard work, tremendous skill and a gift for melody like few others. No longer "emerging", Brian has become a member of the community of guitar masters he has toured with. “Legacy” is a must have CD for anyone who plays or loves guitar. Brian writes songs not “tunes”, fully developed stories told with six steel strings and a passion rarely seen instrumentally or lyrically.

For all the exhaustive work that Brian Gore puts into bringing contemporary guitar music to the masses, his name is unjustly unknown to them. As the lead participant and coordinator of the perennial "International Guitar Night" series, Gore has forged the opportunity to tour and play with some of the finest acoustic guitarists in the world: Pierre Bensusan, Alex deGrassi, Ralph Towner, Martin Taylor, Peppino D'Agostino, Laurence Juber, Don Ross, Andrew York and others. The networking has borne artistic fruit, not only for the listening public who, were it not for Gore, otherwise would have one less opportunity to see and hear these individual guitar giants, but also for the music itself to grow by the collaboration between these very creative artists. On "Legacy" Gore has capitalized on that same collaborative synergy by inviting past IGN participants Andrew York, Marco Pereira, Peppino D'Agostino and Antonio Calogero to play opposite him on a beautiful collection of original instrumental guitar duets. "Legacy" also includes seven Gore solo compositions. The York/Gore number "Loom of Desire" is especially poignant, a melodic interplay of steel and nylon by two excellent players who are convincingly and emotionally connected to the theme. But Gore seems to have this sort of easy chemistry with all those with whom he plays; a measure of both the man and the artist.
