Andy McKee does on the acoustic guitar what Eddie Van Halen did for the electric. He has essentially invented another way to play the instrument, sounding like an entire band in the process. Instrumentally, the album is an amazing set of instrumental songs. To appreciate Andy's work further, go watch him actually play (via YouTube or in concert). The guy really takes a creative approach to playing guitar.

I discovered Andy on youtube as many did and bought Art of Motion instantly! I recently saw him on tour where he was selling this CD/DVD before they were released and got me a signed copy. It has been great follow up material to his previous stuff. I think the only drawback might be that he has some accompaniment on a few of his songs (cello or drum rhythm) that does add to the overall song, but might take away a little from his solo guitar. What I loved about Art of Motion was listening closely to all the sound that Andy alone could produce from his guitar and adding in another instrument 'muddies' it up a little at times. It is still a good overall end result and shouldn't stop you from picking this one up. Its definately a keeper!

I like that he is just a regular guy with an amazing talent and he remains humble through it all. Keep up the awesome work, Andy!
