Other reviews may comment on Young's chops or some moments that are reminicent of Michael Hedges, thats all fine....but who doesn't have great chops and hasn't taken inspiration from MH??

This CD is sensitive and the music is pretty. The playing and composition is patient, reserved and each note is carefully taken into account. Spacious and colorfull.

Makes for a very non-pretentious and effective listening pleasure.

Great player, great musician.

Added bass from Michael Manring is a bonus. Solo guitar fans will be love it.

Wow! What an album. Rob Eberhard Young is one of the most passionate guitarists I have ever heard. Both his fingerstyle and his wacka-wacka (which Hedges would call it) is such a pleasure to listen to. There is just so much between the notes. Passion. There loads of movement in songs like Trance Dance and Magister Ludi whilst there's also soothing tracks like En Soleil (featuring Will Ackerman) and Jeremy (which was actually recorded in some cave in Bali). The album also features an amazing 25 minute hidden track of guitar loops that always drives me into an hypnotic state. Sticks and Stones also features the Great Michael Hedges on harp guitar on the powerful Mr. Possum and Michael Manring on e-bow and bass on a few tracks too. REY's second album, Sticks and Stones will take you places that no one has been able to and won't allow you back. Buy it NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars fahey reincarnated with hedges, February 25, 2003

By 

joseph b. faulkner "darkspell" (san diego, california USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sticks & Stones (Audio CD)

they DO come back...felt like i was in a seance visited by the ghosts of fahey and hedges and yet even perhaps Robbie Basho sat in for the session.this guy is everything and then some. why aren't there more c/ds out here by rob eberhard? such a delicate touch, an almost zen-like sensitivity to the material needs to be more available. if you love fahey and hedges,you will think the ghosts have somehow found a reunion in this disc. buy it and fly...trance dance will definitely take you there.
