Reviewing an album of acoustic guitar solo piece isn’t the easiest thing to do. Well, an overall review isn’t tough, but for track by track reviews it can get a little sticky. This set moves between classical, rocking, folk, jazz and more. It never feels tired or redundant. Given the lack of variety in terms of instruments, that’s impressive.

This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014  Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.

Intricate and energized, this is not delicate. It’s a real rocker, but without amplification. It might be acoustic guitar, but this is not wimpy or restful music. It leans toward classical, but really is a rock tune in my mind. It has a lot in common with California Guitar Trio, really.

The closing piece falls closer to the folk music end of the spectrum.
