Track by Track Review
Rock (Instrumental)
Jerry Lordan's beautiful melody converted to an updated version of the way Valery Shapovalow played it way back in '68. Pretty, lush, and beautifully played.
Rock (Instrumental)
This classic song is playful and easy on the nerves. The guitar work is mature and very smooth. Simple fun.
Rock (Instrumental)
The Shadows' often covered "Peace Pipe" is very smooth here, with lines that flow from the guitar like water from a spring. Very pretty.
Voice Rock (Instrumental)
"Voice" is a very soft and romantic piece of music, with an orchestral sound to it. The guitar almost cries.
