Only a nice person could make this music........2006-04-23

I first heard Billy McLaughlin's music on National Public Radio, and then on the NPR Living Room Concerts compact discs. The recordings on this disc are all at once lively and refreshing, yet also melodic and restoratively soothing. The feeling for me is akin to that first beautiful April day when you can go outside without a jacket and just revel unfettered. You just want to bury your face in the music and laugh and smile and sigh.

I am buying this cd today for the second time because my son, now seven chose this cd when he was two years old as his favorite cd in the house. For the better part of five years he has liked to listen to this each night before bedtime. Our first copy travelled to Grandma's, on vacations, and everywhere with us. ~ It was so loved, and it has gone missing...

Several markedly less satisfying months have passed without it being in our home. My son recently mentioned that he would 'really like' another copy for his birthday. I was proud of my child for making such a superb birthday request. The music is good enough to pay for twice.

Simply Amazing .......2006-03-24

Billy's finger-tapping style and amazing compositions will blow you away. I find this CD to be alternatingly relaxing (Coffee Break, The Good Wife), energizing (Fingerdance and Helms Place - two of his more famous recordings), fulfilling (Stormseeker, Lila's Healing).

Each and every song flows together to create a dream world of harmonious notes which defy description, except that by the end, you just know that you were meant to listen to this CD.

Delightful.......2002-01-01

I'm afraid I can't add much more to this review than my title. It's simply a delightful recording, one I play over and over. The man has got it.

Golden Boy........2001-04-01

Tapper, finger-stylist, melody, heart & soul, ... This guy has everything going for him.

Billy MacLaughlin is an expert in the art of playing the guitar with contemporary percussive techniques and alternate tunings.

Some of the greatest solo acoustic guitar you have ever heard.

In the tradition of Michael Hedges & William Ackerman.......2001-02-14

I received this as a gift a couple of years ago from friends who know my taste in acoustic music, specifically guitar innovators. I was pleasantly surprised by what I heard and I play this CD often at work in the background.

This recording definitely falls in the tradition of steel string masters like Michael Hedges, William Ackerman, Phil Keaggy (on his acoustic solo recordings) and Leo Kottke (in his less experimental modes).

McLaughlin displays some impressive finger technique, while producing pleasant compositions with enjoyable melodies. There's not a clinker on this album. This is a good one for acoustic guitar fans. Recommended.
