"This three DVD set
features new and archival footage of performances by the preeminent names
in steel-string fingerstyle guitar. Beginning with Peter Finger's breathtaking
'A Trip Through The Pyrenees', the collection boasts some real gems: a
rare late 1960s clip of Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady - a.k.a. Hot Tuna
doing 'Hesitation Blues', Bert Jansch delivering a soulful version of
'One For Jo', John Fahey crooning while plucking a Gibson L-00 on a plaintive
'Poor Boy' and Adrian Legg at his peg-twisting best on 'Midwest Sunday'...
It's a wonder seeing these greats do what they do up close without those
often clumsy instructional asides, and without getting a lot of smoke
in your face. A real treat."
Guitar Player
The "folk boom" which
exploded in the wake of the Kingston Trio's 1958 hit, Tom Dooley, produced
some surprising fallout. Acoustic guitar sales suddenly skyrocketed and
a new generation of players quickly sized up the instrument's potential.
It proved to be astonishing, once the secrets of fingerstyle guitar unfolded
before the instrument's future masters. The performances in this DVD series
present two generations of artists who have advanced the acoustic guitar's
cause with formidable boldness. We clearly hear their folk, blues, and
country roots even as they develop other distinctly personal harmonic
and melodic pathways.
