CD Reviews

Sailing the steel guitar sea

Chaixmo' | CA | 11/16/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was given this cd recently and I just love it . It is very creative use of the pedal steel guitar and reminds me of the early days of Jerry Garcia when he first branched out into steel guitar ... most memorably on David Crosby's first solo album ... "If I could only remember my name" ... this is pedal steel guitar the way I love it ... in soaring gentle swoops and this music has a sense of space soul and always makes me relax and feel in touch with the deeper rhythms of life.

I eagarly look forward to more music from this Robert Powell. Come on Mr. Powell ... give us some more of your music!"
