5.0 out of 5 stars Really, an astonishingly good CD, March 31, 2001

While I am Ms. Piano at home, my husband is Mr. Guitar. He was quite shocked to find this CD in my collection. He rates Acoustic Alchemy very highly. I bought it because I loved it at first hearing.

I heard the Mr. Chow cut and bought the CD immediately. This piece has a lilting rhythm and an interesting mix of Oriental tunes and percussion. Quite unique and very listenable (you should listen to the sample here.)

The Red Dust and Spanish Lace is Tex-Mex meets Flamenco. Very nice. Close your eyes and imagine a fiesta in some border town.

The Girl with the Red Carnation may be the prettiest piece on the CD.

All in all, varied and colorful music, relaxed yet interesting. This must be Acoustic Alchemy's best. Every piece is a winner, which is not the case with many CD's, where there is one hit only and filler for the rest. If you love guitar, you are sure to love this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion, their best cd. A festival for your ears!, July 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Red Dust & Spanish Lace (Audio CD)

Being a guitar player myself, I am both envious and awed by the guitar work on this recording. From the whimsical "Mr. Chow" to the end title cut, I find it a pure joy to listen to, and always manage to hear something new every time I play it. I have many of their cds, and love them all, but this is the stand-out. My absolute favorite with its outstanding rhythmn backbone is "One For The Road", which to me embodies that "good-time" feeling of blowing down the highway with the top down, radio blasting, sun shining, and brother, life is good! Even if you're not an officionado of acoustic guitar or jazz, this "festival for your ears" will sure to please. There's a cut for everyone's tastes. This particular cd rates high on my "all-time favorites" list (can you tell?)For the best in acoustic excellence, this is it!
