If you like Guitar and you like Ragtime, then you will really like this CD. The Artist very closely copies the piano arrangments of these standards and plays them at a tempo that is not hurried, so you hear all the notes. You will probably end up as I did, playing it over and over again. It is really a fine piece of work. The only negative I have is the artist did not use the greatest guitar in the recordings. I've heard much better sounding instruments. Also, the quality lacked a little, but what do you expect from a budget CD.

This cd is pleasant enough, especially for the price. However, for those of you who want a bit more spirited renditions of ragtime guitar music I would recommend players such as Duck Baker and Mary Flower. The classical background and precision of the performer on this CD creates a technically pleasing rendition of the tunes but they really need more of a "Blues Attitude" to be more than 3 stars to my ears.
