This guy is a MONSTER player! His technique is impeccable and choice of compositions are unique. Unlike other virtuosos, Firkins does not "show off". He doesn't have to. His playing shows itself to be VERY proficient and truly talented. I absolutely love the finger pickings and the jassy #'s. Since getting Blacklight Sonatas, I have colleted all of his CD releases and not one has disappointed. If you are a fan of guitar playing, you'll really dig this guy. If you are a fan of music, you will deeply appreciate Firkins for his unique style and virtuosity!

This is my third FIRKINS ( HOWLING IGUANAS are just as brilliant ) and they are all full of astonishing guitar work, interesting covers done in his inimatable style and original compositions that leave you wondering why this guy isn't huge.
Unlike a lot of others in this genre, he doesn't need to overplay to get his brilliance accross. His main attribute is melodie and a beautifull tone as well as flawless technique. Most importantly, he always sounds like FIRKINS. The musik spans a wide variety of styles and he excells at all of them. CARAVAN is one of the most interesting interpretations of a DUKE ELLINGTON tune your ever likely to hear. The backing musos are also of the highest order. If you like the guitar, you will ove this CD.

its simplie his best.The guitarsound is the best
