If you think Nashville music is all made up of insipid under-three-minute-up-tempo-positive-just-like-what-was-number-one-last-week pablum, WELL, here's a surprise for you! This is Steve Wariner doing what he does best - and making all would-be guitarists consider using the Takamine for firewood. Songwriter/keyboardist/genius Randy Goodrum's influence is all over this nearly-all-instrumental showcase. Steve brought in Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Mark O'Connor,Bela Fleck, Leo Kottke, Leroy Parnell, and Richie Sambora...it is like the ULTIMATE guitar round!! Only one track suffers the indignation of Nashville influence... where some of the young guns attempt to keep up with this pace (if that's Bryan White playing drums - then, it's a good thing he can sing!) You will play this CD over and over and over again.

What a surprise!!! I hate country musik and would never ever have looked at this CD. Would have been a crying shame. I am a guitar nut and this is a feast of top class guitar playing. The material ranges from country / fusion to jazz to blues and even some classical touches. Great compositions, superb playing and a very impressive list of guest artists ensures a very varied experience. If you like the guitar, you will love this

This is an album which showcases Wariner's awesome talent on the guitar. He was a picker long before he was a singer. Musicians will greatly appreciate this effort.

Received CD in 4 days and was very excited about its condition. Like new and a sound investment. Thanks Amazon.

Yes Steve Wariner is a masterful guitar player but it was excruciating listing to this album knowing that I wouldn't be hearing his wonderful voice (except for one song). I love Steve Wariner as a music talent and he should never put out an album again unless he plans to sing too. I have to admit that many of the instumentals are soothing but it just wasn't the same without him singing.
