This CD is a solo guitar EP from a musician from my local area. Every piece here was recorded in one take, with no overdubs and just one guitar. That's impressive in and of itself. The thing is, the guitar work is even more impressive than that. If you are a fan of acoustic guitar work, you really need to check this out. It's exceptional. More importantly for the more casual listener, it's entertaining, too.

The title track is over six minutes long, making it the longest thing here. It starts in a sedate kind of place. Yet the guitar is creating intricate lines of sound within that, making itself busy. This cut feels very much like an epic journey, covering a lot of territory. There are classical elements at play some of the time. It almost reaches into some jazz stylings at other points.  Some short jaunts into harmonics are a nice touch. This might be what some would call "just a guitar solo," but this is so varied and potent that I'd challenge anyone to say that with a straight face.
