Album Review

For his fifth album, Ackerman added new instrumental colors to his guitar work. Especially notable are Michael Manring's bass playing and the one-track "Garden," featuring The Kronos Quartet. The added instrumentation serves only to accentuate Ackerman's typically inventive playing. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
