5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guitar Album, June 29, 2004

By A Customer

Personally I think this is a superb guitar album. There are no vocals, which Shawn did include in his previous albums. The Art of Modern Primitive Guitar comprises a variety of short- and medium-length original compositions that are intricate, listenable, and interesting. As I said to Shawn, it's both music you can "leave" in the background while you do something else, but also music that bares up to repeated, careful listening sessions. This is not just stuff that you get bored with and learn the simple melodies right away. It's music that draws you in and makes you examine what he's doing on the fretboard. And I'm not even a musician! Buy this album. I'm sure there will be something there you will enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shawn rocks!, December 24, 2004

By	J. Koepke (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the third Shawn Persinger CD that I have bought and his talent continues to amaze me. The Art of Modern Primitive Guitar is my favorite work that Shawn has produced so far. I have to admit that Shawn's musical style is not what I gravitate to when I go CD shopping. But I'm so glad that I purchased my first CD of his 4 years ago. All are amazing and I can't wait for more of his music to hit the CD stores.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vibrant, Eclectic, Achingly Original, and Provocative
Shawn's music buzzs with life, angst, complexity, pride, gritty honesty, and that's just in the first 45 seconds. It's all uphill from there. Read more
