Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deliberately stepping away from his country roots, the master guitarist explores an entirely different sonic palette by adopting the Spanish classical guitar. The entirely acoustic, nylon-stringed performance tackles a diverse array of international folk tunes and Latin melodies, highlighting his impeccable fingerstyle technique in an uncharacteristically exotic context.
