Album Notes

Michael Futreal uses Appalachian mountain dulcimer to play original progressive mountain music. Take a listen to the track "Flags," to see how an electric dulcimer can credibly bring the growly sound of Knopfler's Les Paul to a solo instrumental also as mountain dulcimer sweet as anything from Blue Ridge. Check out "Wire Mountain in Spring" to hear how a solo acoustic dulcimer can drive it into rock idioms, sounding at times like *two* guitars.

Tunes range from solo instrumentals to larger productions with guitar, flute, harmonica, etc.
