Martin Tallstrom is such a fine guitarist! The warning that is written is 100% true.. this album DOES have a lot of emotions. The order the tracks are put in is excellent. Martin takes you in a journey starting with the song "Lost in the Rain," which has a very catchy melody and a wonderful vocal performance, then moves you back in time with a great *oldish* sound and the best rendition I've heard of "Freight Train" to fill you with energy and happiness. As the album goes on, you move to different places... then Martin finally ends your journey with a great piece, "The Rose," and it's such a beautiful, timeless melody! This album is highly recommended for any listener of any type. It's not just specified for fingerstyle because it ranges from Acoustic to Country to Pop to everything else! Martin truly knows how to get you goin' with it. I salute you and your talent Sir Martin... that's a great accomplishment.

First you have to create new words in order to express how Martin handles his instrument. Caressing "homo ludens" comes out ... makes us shiver. So great an idea of what Guitarsound can be...
