Flatpicking Guitar Magazine reviewed a pre-release copy of this CD in Volume 11, Number 4. Since then Robert has gone back in the studio to re-record and add to the project. This CD is an example of solo flatpicking at its finest by a masterful and tasteful flatpicker. When the pre-release version came out last summer there was some buzz on the internet listserv group Flatpick-L. Here is what list member Dan Mozell had to say: "There are lots of guitarists these days who have great technique and can generate excitement with hot picking. Robert can certainly do the same. But there are few who work with the full range of emotion that is possible in music. These are medium and slow paced solos intended to move the listener. This is really one of the finest guitar recordings I've heard in years."
Robert, a two-time National Fingerpicking and Flatpicking Guitar contest winner, has been a band member with legendary artists like Bill Monroe, Maura O Connell, Kathy Mattea, the Osborne Brothers, Richard Greene, and many more.

Beautiful, beautiful
author: Andrew Bell
This is really a superb record. The tone is wonderful. The selections aren't about trying to impress - though they do. They are simply beautiful tunes played expertly. I can't really even think of a recent album that compares. Perhaps the best way that I can describe it is that it is that these are compositions by a grown-up played by a grown-up. This is the kind of stuff that one might play to entertain oneself, rather than anyone else. Robert obviously has nothing to prove, and that simply makes the listening all the more enjoyable.
