I was given this cd recently and I just love it . It is very creative use of the pedal steel guitar and reminds me of the early days of Jerry Garcia when he first branched out into steel guitar ... most memorably on David Crosby's first solo album ... "If I could only remember my name" ... this is pedal steel guitar the way I love it ... in soaring gentle swoops and this music has a sense of space soul and always makes me relax and feel in touch with the deeper rhythms of life.

I eagarly look forward to more music from this Robert Powell. Come on Mr. Powell ... give us some more of your music!

Desert Beach by Robert Powell is a fantastic instrumental album. It is a highly original suite of songs that are both interesting to listen to and entertaining as well. Robert Powell's use of the Pedal Steel Guitar is amazing and in my opinion is anything but country music sounding. He has taken this instrument well beyond the musical norms that I am accustomed to hearing, creating almost landscape type music that takes me away on a journey as I listen to the songs on the album. He is also extremely adept at the other guitars and instruments that he plays on the album.
Desert Beach is a masterpiece from Robert Powell. It is great to listen to turned up loud on your car or home music system or as background music in virtually any environment.
Desert Beach by Robert Powell is a must for your collection of original creative instrumental music. Buy it. This kind of album doesn't come along often.
