"The music on this CD is magnificent-- some of the best songs I have ever heard. It's obviously not Moz. or Beeth., but Janson's playing is truly masterful, and soulful in its own right. This is now THE most played CD in my collection and wonderful nuances are discovered every time I listen to the it. 'Sometimes' is expressive in a way unlike anything you've heard-- it is acoustic guitar at its finest, but never classical nor folk-y. You might buy it for the novelty, but you'll play it because Janson has a special quality that makes his songs get into your head. If you crave really, really good instrumental music, buy this CD!"
If you're looking for Jazz, then this isn't for you.

"But if the instrumentals in "Brokeback Mountain" have set you on a quest for gentle no frills guitar music as they have me, then you'll find at least three songs on this album that will qualify as winners: "Still Towards Psyche," "Painting Australia," and -- especially -- "Even When It Rains." I've had the album 24 hours and played " ... Rains" at least that many times. Not that the other 7 songs are losers, it's just that these three were exactly what I was hoping to hear. PS: if you agree, also check out Ed Gerhard's "Howl" and "The Hanging Down" on his "Luna" album."
