Album Notes

The second album from this acoustic fingerstyle guitarist from Kentucky. As with his first album, " ACOUSTIC LANDSCAPE " - all original compositions, recorded live to digital tape, in one take with no overdubbing or editing. What you hear is exactly as it was played. No effects, only the pure singing sounds of spruce and mahogany.

REVIEWS

Fahey/Kottke fans check this one out!
author: Tom Nelson
Heard this guy playing the Kottke/Fahey tune "The Last Steam Engine Train" at the Train Stop Inn and was blown away by his rendition. Bought his first CD right away and then ordered this one later. Can't decide which I like best, my recommendation - get both and hope for more in the future.
