5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, May 4, 2004

As a folk and bluegrass DJ in northern Indiana, I am always on the lookout for artists that fall under the radar. Sam Pacetti certainly qualifies. His guitar-work on "Solitary Travel", is exceptional with an Irish flair, and he proves that he has a more than adequate voice to back up his own picking. His high-speed flatpicking instrumental numbers are the best on "Solitary Travel" -- "Brian's Rapier," "Merrily Kissed the Quaker's Wife," and "Triple-Sec" are outstanding, and Pacetti owns up to an obvious influence from Martin Simpson with his version of "Shawnee Town." While it seems he has a local stature in his native Florida, it appears that his following does not necessarily follow him out of the Sunshine State. This is a shame. I would glady list Pacetti in my "Best Folk Musicians Few Have Heard Of" category and would encourage more people to find and peruse his work, so that I may evetually take him OFF of the list.

5.0 out of 5 stars Master of the Six String, March 1, 2002

By 

Colin Williams (Atlanta, GA.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Solitary Travel (Audio CD)

This is quite possibly the best acoustic album that I have heard in many years. The songs are ageless! As a finger picker myself I can hardly contain my enthusiasm as I listen to the complexities and soulful signifigance in his music. The music reminds me of Michael Hedges or Leo Kottke with a few extra fingers! You must buy this album as it is manditory for a serious music lovers CD collection. I have three. I buy one every time I see him play live. If you pass through St. Augustine, check him out. Unbelievable! This album sooths your soul and will blow your mind. This kid is going somwhere.

When will there be another album,Sam? I'm itching for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Talented Man, October 25, 2001

Sam Pacetti has a God given talent. That along with years of practice have enabled him to play a 6 string to it's fullest extent. He reminds me of Leo Kottke and the late Michael Hedges rolled into one. Sam is a excellent performer though very modest in person. He has the ability to amaze you and relax you all at the same time. Anything he plays comes highly recommended for a good reason.
