River
by Daniel Bachman

supported by 4 fans who also own “156 Strings: Nineteen Totally Original Acoustic Guitarists”

Absolutely astounding solo acoustic guitar. Bachman is an absolute genius from the first minute, and 'Won't You Cross Over to That Other Side' has to be one of the most impressive examples of guitar virtuosity I've ever heard, and the rest of the record just backs up that virtuosity. Levrikon
