Found this guy on YouTube originally. Fantastic guitar player, and not just in a novelty kind of way.

Very enjoyable instrumental album.

I happened to listen to one of his pieces called, "Drifting." Not only was I stunned by the genuine style of chords he created through his music, but I was more impressed by the fact that he used to be a homeless whose phenomenal talent finally caught someone's eyes and ears which brought his works to this world.

Folk, jazz, Spanish-favor, classical--sorry, no rap. My twenty-something son gave me this for Father's Day early. I bought a copy for my seventy-something father in celebration of the same holiday. We all love it. See Andy McKee on YouTube.

This album is very good example of talent of Andy McKee. He has fantastic skills of handling acustiq guitars. Take this album and you will not regret.

I've been a fan of Leo Kotkke and Michael Hedges for many many years. I've learned to play some of Kottke's simpler pieces on 6 and 12-string guitar. I just discovered this CD by Andy McKee and I like it a lot. He has amazing technique. His music reminds me of Don Ross for it's percussive attack and some of the funky grooves. It occasionally sounds a bit like Alex de Grassi in the melodic content and harmonization. Highly recommended.
