Incredible acoustic guitar

"Doug Smith is the greatest acoustic guitar player I've ever heard (after a lot of looking and listening). Amazon should find and stock Labyrinthe, his first (and still best). Order of Magnitude ranks next. His "Best of ..." CD has a couple of cuts I don't like quite so much (Hammerhead, etc), and it leaves off "Spiral Staircase" (extraordinary). But if you can't find Labyrinthe (American Gramaphone, I think), "Best Of ..." is still a great, great album, and intro to a remarkable player. Solo guitar--fast, clean, crisp yet very pretty, with just enough orchestration to keep it totally unpredictable, innovative, and interesting throughout. Similar style: Acoustic Alchemy (Amazon should cross-ref)."
Fantastic

"Years ago at a convention I received a copy of Lybyrinth and have played it to death. It is the best so far. Get that and get this best of CD. My personal favorite is "Traveling Tune". It is the tune I use to recruit colleagues to listen to Mr. Smith"
