4.0 out of 5 stars Good but a bit misleading, January 6, 2004

First-I liked the album. The good things about it included the variety and breadth of musical styles - from Bob Brozman (poster child for all things National Guitar) to Kayton Roberts who does a nice version of Bells of St. Mary's. My only gripe is that much of the music deviates from what is known as the "lap steel guitar" (a relatively small electrified six to 10 string instrument), offering various slide guitar and resonator guitar songs as well. It would be as if they called a record "all about trombones" and only include one or two songs just with trombones and the rest with other instruments. I was not disappointed with the sound, but thought that they could have either called it something else or included more actual lap steel guitars on the record.

If you enjoy or want to find out if you enjoy lap steel guitar, this is a great 'taster'. You'll find tunes that are jazz, blues, gospel, country, electric, acoustic, and all of them of very high quality.

Not too many, "How did they do that?" kind of moments, but lot's of "That really sounds great" moments.

Recommended.
