5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Pleasure & Joy -- Best Album By AA -- A Great Group!!, April 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Back on the Case (Audio CD)

Very Rarely, have I experienced an album of complete and balanced quality creating homogeneous musical pleasure and satisfaction. Each song fits together with a smooth blend of textures bringing out the best of the Acoustic Guitar mixed with a superb mixture of other instruments. I love Acoustic Guitar and have lots--but this Album for me significantly beats any other Acoustic Album for a complete package! I simply LOVE each song and the result gives a relaxing...but yet optimistic and uplifing feel...I'm rejuvenated and "made right" after listening to it...no matter how often. I especially find "On The Case" a great track, but the others are just as good.

BTW...each album of AA in the collaboration of Webb/Carmichael is excellent...and I also recommend "A Beautiful Game" of AA
after the sad, untimely passing of Nick Webb due to Cancer in 1998.

Personally...of the 1,000 or more albums I've have had and/or listened to in my life from about every genre...this album would have to be easily in the top 5 for musical quality and the feel it gives. A great piece of Work!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding melodies perfectly arranged., March 24, 1999

This was my first purchase of this wonderful band. I can still picture the climb up Caddilac Mt. listening to "Playing For Time" and the top reached to the tune of "Clear Air For Miles". Every time i hear them it brings back such peaceful memories! An excellent purchase to add to any true musicians collection. As are the other compilations by this crisp, tight group.

I first heard Acoustic Alchemy on a local jazz radio station and i was hooked. The band really has a feel for what can make your soul identify with the music you are hearing. Acoustic Alchemy just doesnt make a bad album. Give this one a try! You wont be disappointed!
