5.0 out of 5 stars Guitar Master at Work, August 7, 2002

This review is from: El Samuraichi (Audio CD)

I've heard Chris play locally many times and am constantly amazed at his composition, playing and his broad musical knowledge. In his act, he covers new age, flamenco, celtic, mid-east, etc. with original and covers of existing songs. My reaction to this CD was "WOW!". He has skillfully added strings, percussion, etc. to make a truly delightful CD. Sometimes the music carries you to where you think it should, and other times it has a delightful surprise. I strongly recommend that you take this CD to your favorite spot and listen to the last cut. Close your eyes and let it fill your soul!

5.0 out of 5 stars A treat for fans of acoustic and world music., April 4, 2002

Chris Dunnett combines impeccable technique, strong musicianship
and solid songwriting on this CD that combines flamenco, classical, Middle-Eastern and pop styles. My personal favourites
are the beautiful Yo Se Que Yo Puedo, the Arabic sounding Samson & Dilemma and a wonderful cover of the traditional Maleguena.

When I met Chris and he told me he was a musician I thought, "OK, that's cool." But I've got several friends who are musicians in that they can play an instrument pretty well. Then I heard Chris play some improv music and I thought, "Wow ... that's impressive." Then I heard El Samuraichi and was blown away.

I don't have any musical skill or talent so can't speak of Chris' technical prowess. All I can say is how it affects me when I listen to it. Listening to El Samuraichi is like sitting down at a seven course dinner prepared by a world-class chef. Each track is delightful and evocative in its own way. Some are meditative, some are energetic, some are somber, all are powerful.

Excellent work Chris. I look forward to hearing more of your work.
