REVIEWS

An awesome session! Reynold captures the creative and spirited energy of his live playing wonderfully on this recording. He delivers both the intimate ballad and uptempo song with equal passion and clarity. Every tune demonstrates his mastery of the guitar and his original compositions show a real maturity that deserve wider recognition.
