Patrick Yandall is a guitarist’s guitarist… subtle, musical and technically brilliant. With an almost humble star quality that elevates him from the mix, Patrick’s talents also include production and arrangement and the amazing ability to play all the other instruments on the album. ACOUSTIC DREAMSCAPE, his fourteenth in a long line of masterful, smooth jazz guitar recordings from his homeland of San Diego, CA, is a beautifully woven American quilt. An album that offers peace and serenity in equal measures, then wraps you up warmly. Hard to pick a favorite, but the title tune along with Bob Dylan’s “All Along the Watchtower” and Steve Howe’s “Mood for a Day” would all be prime contenders… yet all tracks shimmer with Patrick’s lovely acoustic touch. ACOUSTIC DREAMSCAPE is without doubt the “Snuggle –Up“ album of the year and the perfect soundtrack for relaxing and unwinding! ~
