What’s It All About

A master of the electric guitar strips everything away for ten solo acoustic covers. Deeply resonant, intimate, and filled with a quiet, late-night wisdom.

June 14, 2011 · Nonesuch

A quiet, deeply resonant meditation on memory and melody that feels both fragile and expertly grounded.

Moments Worth Listening For

The cascading, harp-like harmonics of the 42-string Pikasso guitar opening The Sound of Silence.

The deep, woody resonance of the baritone guitar on Alfie, making a familiar melody feel heavy with new meaning.

The unexpected surf-rock energy of Pipeline translated into a delicate, percussive acoustic arrangement.
