as a student of fingerstyle guitar I thought I'd heard all of the comtemporary masters ... it was a very pleasant surprise to discover Doug last year...initially I heard him play with fellow Grammy winner and Master Fingerstyle Guitarist Mark Hanson on thier amazing duet "Power of Two"...and I had to find out more...every song on this collection is a winner...I have my favorites...Millenium Force is a tapping powerhouse of a song...august 23rd is his most "Pop" like tune (but still likeable ;-p)...Renewal is probably his best known song for good reasons...it perfectly displays his wide ranging talent and absolute command of his instrument...winter wonderland comes as a shock in the midst of all of these "contemporary" tunes but is a delightfull arrangement nonetheless...my only complaint is that the CD is missing "Out of the Darkness" one of my favorite Smith songs...guess you'll have to buy "Alone Again" to get that one just like I did...

When will we see more Doug Smith?

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing, October 2, 2006

I am an aspiring old finger picker myself and have met Doug at one

of his concerts. He absolutely loves to play and his skill is second to

none! I think this is his best CD yet and I own several of them. I only

wish he had put "Order of Magnitude" on the CD as that is my favorite.

He won the National Finger Picking championship in Winfield KS this year

and it was rightly deserved. If you EVER get a chance to see him perform

live, don't miss him.

If you want to start, or build, a classical guitar collection, you MUST have this one. Doug Smith is a genius and the quality of the recording is superb. I've bought other CDs of classical guitar that were not recorded properly or something, they sounded like they were in a well or tinny. Just beautiful music that we have constantly playing in the background of our home. When I have company over, they all ask who that is when Doug's music plays.
