Goodin's Celtic Blues Raga

"If you successfully blend fingerpicking American folk blues with Celtic melodies and Indian raga improvisation, you've got Jim Goodin. He is playing out of so many sources that he sounds exactly like himself. He produces a flowing river of sound that you can listen to straight through or dip in and out of as you write, paint or create new ideas. The best recommendation for his music is all the people who come up to me when I play his CD at my school: "Who is that playing - I feel so good hearing it." I've owned this CD from its first edition, and its synthesis of originality and timelessness keeps it new and pleasing."
New York's best-kept secret!

"Jim Goodin's latest album provides calming, focused background music to our most pleasant moments at home these days. Children respond to its lovely, gentle, subtle character. Guitar afficiandos and New Agers of all stripes will appreciate Goodin's sweet touch. We love this album and have listened straight though over and over."
