5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music, January 15, 2002

By A Customer

If you like, even just like, acoustic guitar you will like this record. The perfect record for a candlelight dinner or peaceful quite evenings. I love just about every song on this record. Lovely, intricate guitar playing.

Listening to this record on the couch, with the lights off and my eyes closed, makes me feel like I am lying by a crackling creek, in the grass, under a blue sky, temperature about 80 degrees, when I was ten years old.

5.0 out of 5 stars The reason God made guitars, February 22, 1999

By	smg@sky1.net (Simpsonville, Kentucky) - See all my reviews

I didn't realize there was a first collection of this music until I saw Sounds of Wood & Steel 2 so I bought it to see what it was like. My husband and I love it! We enjoy the way the artists describe the reasoning behind the songs they chose as well as knowing what make and key their Taylor was played in. I particularly enjoyed Richie Sambora's sound due to the description of the song's origination. I plan on ordering the first collection since we have enjoyed this one so much. This is wonderful music to enjoy your day or evening by. It's sure to please anyone who plays guitar or just loves to hear that awesome sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars WindHam Hill & Taylor Guitars!, March 30, 2000

By	Robert Lunte "Author of The Four Pillars of S... (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I own both the 1st "wood & steel" compilation CD and the 2nd effort. All I can say, is they might be the BEST solo guitar, finger-style compilations produced. This is a fantastic production from renouned new age label WindHam Hill. All players are playing their Taylors'. What a great idea!

As an owner of a Taylor 512, and fan of many of these artists, i found these compilations to be essential to my collection.

You wont be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is definitely not as good as their first album.
It must have cost a lot of money to produce this album because the acoustics and the liner picture of the Koa Taylor 12 are beautiful. Unfortunately the music isn't. Read more
