The music on this CD has come about after probably the busiest period of my career in terms of live gigs with my band. As a result I've needed something of a change. Inspiration for the electric guitar can be hard to find away from the stage, with the nerves and adrenalin an audience can bring. So, here is an album of music composed almost entirely for acoustic guitar. I've found this change of pace extremely refreshing and it has enhanced my love of the instrument even more, hence the reason behind the albums title. During the recording and mixing process, very little has been added in the way of effects or eq, relying more on the quality of instrument and mic positioning etc. Other than reverb and compression, I've tried to maintain as true a representation of the guitars natural tone as possible. all guitar solos were either first or second takes. Very special thanks go to Avalon Guitars for there superb instruments and Thomas McLaughlin at Soundslive in Newcastle, for techcical advice and support.
