Majestic Fingerstyle Recording in the Takoma/Fahey Tradition

Riverhouse | Portland, Maine U.S.A | 09/15/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Sean Smith is firmly rooted in the Takoma School Guitar Tradition pioneered by John Fahey and Robbie Basho. Sean's greatest strength is his ability to create beautifully emotive, unique story like compositions that sets him apart. His playing is sinewy, vital, and always Beautiful. Sean is simply one of the finest American acoustic guitar players alive today!"

"One man and one steel string acoustic guitar is what you get with this album. Melodically in the same territory as the late, great John Fahey. Rhythmically, Sean's picking is more straightforward and clean."
