Album Review: Sketches from an American Journey

Review

New age veteran David Arkenstone delivers another set of instrumental passages on Sketches From an American Journey. The delicate piano and guitar work combine to create a lush and gentle sound that is often associated with his music. Fans of his previous albums should know to expect catchy, mid-tempo instrumentals with his trademark grasp of melody driving the album along gracefully. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
