Review

Guitarist Martin Simpson has been recognized for bringing together the drive of Celtic melodies in the atmosphere of New Age. Included on this album are several pieces which are American in origin, traditional and new compositions firmly based on traditional styles and airs (that is, melodies of songs). The instrumentation includes acoustic and electric guitars, mandolins, violect, cello, shrutibox and electric bass guitar. (The CD booklet includes guitar sheet music). ~ MusD, All Music Guide
