Wayne Henderson, the subject of Allen St. John's book Clapton's Guitar, is a renowned acoustic guitar builder and player from southwestern Virginia. He plays bluegrass and old-time tunes in a remarkably fast and clean style, using a thumb-pick and two fingerpicks. This is Wayne's first solo guitar CD, played on an OM-style guitar that he built himself. It was recorded on audiophile equipment in a friend's living room, with no editing or overdubs. Wayne chose all the tunes, most of which he has played since he was a boy. Played in this relaxed atmosphere, and with Wayne freed from the restrictions of a backing band, in the words of the CD's co-producer, "these versions are full of adventure, new ideas, and risk taking."
