But also the rest can absolutely see itself, sorry, allow to hear. I have bought this CD, actually, around my Richie Sambora-Collection to complete. To recommend very much. A wonderful CD for switching off, dream and a lot more. All of course Richie Sambora at the head 'see "Ava`s Eyes". A jewel of his creating which documents the big love to his daughter once more.
Especially for the money. I think the guitarists use Taylor guitars, but I find my Ibanez sounds just as good. Also, a good value. I bought this CD to give me inspiration while learning the guitar on my own. The price is right, and it gives me something to shoot for.
Volume 2 is top quality instrumental work, and compares very well to one of my favorite CDs - Sounds of Wood & Steel Volume 1.
Very satisfying. And don't be misled by the fact that this CD was released on the new age Windham Hill label. There's no navel-gazing guitar noodling here--just musicians sharing their love of guitars. This second volume of the SOUNDS OF WOOD & STEEL series is a simply wonderful album of guitar instrumentals. [Running Time - 47:47] HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Also, Elliot Easton's performance of "Caroline No" is amazing. As with the previous volume, each song features Taylor guitars (which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1999 when this CD was released).There are numerous highlights, including Taylor co-founder Bob Taylor's rendition of "After the Gold Rush." [Note: Neil Young was an early proponent of the Taylor guitar]. Easton chose the song because of his working relationship with Brian Wilson (he has performed and recorded with Wilson) and his belief that it is the "prettiest pop ballad ever." In addition, the Hawaiian slack-key flavor of "The Island" performed by Jim Messina (with Kenny Loggins sittin' in providing wordless vocals) is a real joy.Bottom line, there isn't a weak cut in the bunch.
It's not supposed to be mindblowing or alter your consciousness. Keep in mind, too, that this type of music is designed to be background for reading, or writing a letter, or doing a puzzle, or studying, or just relaxing. It's SUPPOSED to be unobtrusive. What's not to like about this compilation. It's just supposed to set a mood and help you mellow out, and it certainly does that artfully. I'm thrilled to have so many leads to all of this talent. I'm not at all sure why some reviewers were "disappointed" by this cd. One shouldn't expect to like every tune on a cd such as this, because there are so many different styles, but I feel that the producers did an amazing job keeping the tone very similar, so that one can enjoy this cd from beginning to end.
