4.0 out of 5 stars enticing reintroduction to acoustic guitar, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Acoustic Edge: Great Acoustic Music 90's (Audio CD)

I am an old acoustic music fan who drifted away. Acoustic Edge brought me back into the fold. Almost all of the cuts are solid strong pieces that reveal the power non-amplified music can have. I rediscovered old friends and found new ones. Richard Thompsons "Beeswing" is a soft etheral piece. Pat Donohue "Pig Iron" is a revelation. Overall it the album offers up strong pieces from musicians I automatically put in the acoustic folk category and surprising gems from musicians I put in the amplified pop/folk/jazz category.

Great selection of acoustic guitar music, from Leo Kotke's tragic but beautiful Driver to Richard Thompson's melancholy, delicate Beeswing (and let's not forget Ferron's beautiful Ain't Life a Brook, Peter Rowan's sensational Dust Bowl Children or David Wilcox's punchy Strong Chemistry)--there is not a single disappointing track on this album. I had it years ago, then lost it and couldn't live without it, so was glad to find it on Amazon.
