Captivating
author: Mark Maisel
This is the 2nd of 2 CDs by Mr. Rayborn that I have purchased. It is wonderful and I\'ve been listening to them both often. While the music invokes images and thoughts of places and times far away from the suburban United States, it is comforting and relaxing music.

Beautiful solo instrumentals
author: DrummerBoyJason
When you play solo music on an acoustic instrument subtle sounds and feelings, that are often missed in larger arrangements, come out. The music never feels lacking, even without the drone or percussive backing that often accompanys solo instrumentals. Speaking for the music itself, it spans many different regions and traditions from Africa, to the Middle East, to Greece. It is played on instruments from the lute and harp/zither families alternating from one to the other by track, thus creating a contrast. The music is just all around good music, and the fact that it in no way feels "westernized" at any time is a plus.
