An album of glorious 12 string guitar instrumentals

(5 out of 5 stars)

"One of my treasured recordings is the original vinyl release of this album. It's a delight to find it available on CD. Anyone who loves the sound of the 12 string guitar will love this album. No pyrotechnics here - just fantastic, accomplished playing of traditional folk melodies by someone who knows exactly how to get the best sound out of a very special type of guitar."

A well-kept secret

"This album is a hidden treasure, from start to finish. It's acoustic instrumental music that is folky (but not overly so) with a definite lounge twist. Very unique, toe-tapping, finger-snapping music. Makes you want to drink a Manhattan while sitting on a horse. Hipsters in the mood for a change of pace can't go wrong here."
