Wonderful Music, Incredible Depth

"I had Jim Tozier's first privately released CD, "Castelrea" and thoroughly enjoyed it. His Celtic flavor meets up with my particular tastes from various styles. However, that did not prepare me for this CD, humbly titled, "Solo Guitar".
The writing goes from simple to complex... from folky to sophisticated, with the ease of someone completely in touch with his instrument. The really nice thing about Mr. Tozier's playing, though, is his touch. It matches up with the compositions in such a way that his music is truly compelling, and it's well worth listening many, many times.
I'm not usually a fan of solo guitar collections - but this one is truly exceptional, and well worth the time to sit and enjoy. It's great to hear and know that the creation of wonderful music is alive and well!
I'm getting ready to listen to his other new release, "Celtic Guitar". I can't wait!"
Once you listen...

"...you will be hooked on Jim Tozier's arrangements, original compositions and terrific playing. I own this album as well as Celtic Guitar and always enjoy listening to the clean execution and fine guitar playing. If you enjoy guitar music then Jim Tozier's albums are must haves."
