...just about anything by Norman Blake (...okay, I know all those notes are in there somewhere...)!
Another would the The Lord's Prayer by Larry Carlton; it's one that I've learned - and relearned (!) a few times. Just beautiful; really does make you want to stop what you're doing and just listen and meditate... |

I know it's world music pap, but I find it a guilty pleasure.... Like Andy Kims 'Sugar Sugar'(the Archies) |

Location: Spokane, WA | "Andecy" by Andrew York. I've spent years trying to get that song down. The notes are there but the feel is something else. |

Location: Texas | Lefty,
I will agree on Norman Blake ... Lost Indian is a particular favorite.
Last week-end I saw several of the finest acoustic guitar players of our day in downtown Argyle, TX ... Tim Stafford, Audie Blaylock, Jim Hurst, Kenny Smith ... After listening to them for a couple of nights, you don't know whether to go home and practice, or just give up.
And I can't make a list and leave off Doc Watson ... everything from Black Mountain Rag to Summertime |
