4.0 out of 5 stars Chops., July 6, 2001

Vastly technical and full of chops. Light on melody. Guitarists will love it. Others will enjoy it. Dont expect pretty Windham Hill melodies here. Your in for some solo finger-style maddness.

One thing thats unique about Ross is he plays a Baritone guitar, slightly larger with more bottom end. Very pretty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Huron Street shows Ross in all his brillance, April 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Huron Street (Audio CD)

I became a fan of Don Ross after hearing his first Narada recording, "Passion Sessions". Since then I became aware of the several albums that he released in Canada, and I had wanted to hear them, so when I saw that his latest CD "Huron Street" was music culled from his earlier Canadian albums, I was excited. "Huron Street" doesn't disappoint. After a few listens the songs spring to life in all their texture and harmony. At times Ross's technical ability overshadows his song writing in that he fills every measure of music with slaps and taps and harmonics that can become overwhelming. The songs show his writing style which does not seperate melody from technique. It might not appeal to everyone, but it is unique, and I find it interesting and moving. That is just a minor critizism of what is a very good fingerstyle guitar record. Check it out for yourself.

First of all I can't believe anyone could give this cd 2 or 3 stars. This is first rate material. The comparisons to Hedges are apt, how could that be a bad thing? Ross is a technical wizard and few indeed can play at his level of ability. Far from just playing the guitar, the compositions are bright,memorable, and energizing. I waited too long to buy this cd. Hope to hear Don play one day, but he seems to be playing almost exclusively in Canada.
