Magnetic music

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Akkerman used to be one of the most charismatic electric guitar players when he played with Focus back in the 70's. Now, after switching to acoustic guitar he hasn't lost that awesome musical personality - furthermore, he became more "noble" in some way. Jan's playing is technically brilliant and makes both adapted lute compositions and contemporary pieces sound very colorful and different. It's hard to believe, how many different moods can a great musician create with just one acoustic guitar..."

Acoustic Excellence

"This is (almost) the "studio" version of the now legendary limited edition "Akkernet" internet release "Live at the Priory". How can one man with a guitar keep the listener so involved and enthralled for over 70 minutes? The guitar playing is second to none and the atmosphere created by this master is spine tingling. The beautiful "Wildflower" has no peer. One of the most essential CD's in my collection. Akkerman is back."

THE BEST ALBUM EVER !?

"Is it correct to say that to play such wonderful music, as if your instrument is a part of your body, you must be a great man ?Well, this is out of this world ! Jan, in my opinion the greatest guitarist ever, does not play music, he performs passion.Jan Akkerman is such a versatile musician. If you like guitarmusic, this will become your bible.............."
