Excellent

Great musician and performances. Generally relaxing, with enough tension to keep it interesting. As a fingerstyle guitarist myself, I really enjoyed his technique and appreciated his skill. Bought an extra copy as a gift. Well worth a listen!

Very inviting collection of tone poems
author: Terry Fain
A very nice collection of tone poems, superbly played and excellently recorded. The songs flow seamlessly from one to the next, creating a very inviting mood for the listener. The songs are not so much melodic as atmospheric, possibly influenced by New Age and Hawaiian slack key guitar. Easy to listen to, and well worth it.

Beautiful, peaceful, amazingly strong debut album!
author: sho
This CD is full of wonderful music. Bryan's songs display a wide range of emotions, from serene to playful to slightly menacing/forlorn. Iceland, and its darker variation on a theme, Greenland, are so open and lilting, they make me feel like I'm flying. The relatively minimalist Tumbleweed is perfectly soothing. Lastly, the slide guitar in Innocence and Badwater (my personal favorite!) are particularly effective in capturing the mood, and the combination finger-picking and slide is so alluring. I'm not generally a solo guitar kind of gal (or really, a guitar gal at all!), but since I got this CD I have been listening to it non-stop! Fantastic job!!

A stunning debut, rich and inspiring.

A stunning debut, rich and inspiring. Bryan weaves his poignant melodies and heart thumping rhythms into beautiful individual tapestries, each one impressive on it's own; yet the synergy of the collection and it's hints at variations on several different themes reminds me at times of a full classical work. I am digging it.
